Add it in the querystring of the link they are clicking on...

<a hre="[URL unfurl="true"]http://mydomain.com/removefromlist.aspx?email=user@domain.com">remove[/URL] me from this list</a>

Although you run into privacy problems with that method as it opens up the transfer of an email address over the internet. Best solution is to ensure all your emails have an ID attached to them and pass this ID...on your remove page, grab this ID and query the db for the record and remove it, flag it for removal, or whatever else you need to do...

<a hre="[URL unfurl="true"]http://mydomain.com/removefromlist.aspx?emailID=123">remove[/URL] me from this list</a>

GOOGLE is a great resource to find answers to questions like "how do i..."

If you don't know exaclty what you want to do or what to search on, try Google Suggest:

I have recently been semi-converted to ensuring all my code (well most of it) works in both javascript and non-javasc
