multiple newsletter signup boo-boo

[valuehosted]

Dean,

I showed you this before and I wanted to know if this has been addressed already?

Scenario: You have 3 newsletters set up via a multiple newsletter signup box.

If a visitor signs up for newsletter 1, but not 2 and 3, then comes back again to sign up for 2-3 – you will get this error.

There were errors with your subscription to our mailing list.

The error messages are as follows:
That email address is already subscribed to this list!

Please press the back button on your browser and re-enter your information.

Or if client tries to remove himself from one that he is not signed up for (lets say he is signed up for 1 and 3 but not 2) but checks off 1,2 and 3 anyways – you will get this error.

Your email address (email@email.com) was not found in our database! This error should never happen, please contact the administrator of this web site for a manual removal.

There should be a logic that if this is a multi-newsletter signup/removal form to ignore any already signed up newsletters as well as ignore any non-signed up newsletters (as long as one registers).

Currently, the only workaround for subscription is to set the following variable on your form:

<input type=hidden name=overwrite_dupes value=1>

I don't recommend unsubscription by form in a multi-list subscribe environment, though it does appear that I could ignore lists they are not signed up on fairly easily (I'll add it to the list).  Instead, I recommend using a "Remove Link" message code.
