      I wrote up some ideas on best practices for unsubscription recently, after trawling through my inbox to clear the clutter.
      http://softwareas.com/best-practices-for-mailing-list-unsubscription

      If you're doing one-click unsubscribe, a smart practice is showing a message with other ways to stay engaged, e.g. Twitter ... and providing a one-click undo (ie re-subscribe).

      >html + js doesn't have a standard way to be shared outside a website.

      Sure it does, just send an .html file. With the <script> and <style> tags and data: URIs to embed images, what more do you need?
      Hell, you can even distribute sound: http://softwareas.com/offline-sound-no-flash-no-file

      Anything similiar for the Android device available?
