List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Note that the below is only true for ie5.5. I don't know of a way to do this in earlier versions, and no, it doesn't work in them. If you have ie5.5, and you want to download any type of link, just high-light the link, and right-click on it. You'll get a menu. One of the options in there will be something like download link. Just select that, and you should be all set.
