Summary: Confirmation usability

Initial Comment:
There are three usability problems with the confirmation 
of a subscription:

a) the URL tends to be more than 80 characters. It 
might be a good idea too decrease the length of the 
confirmation-ID and/or identation and thereby increase 
the usability

b) the URL that the user is directed to has 
a "Subscribe" button on the left and a "Cancel and 
discard" button on the right. I think the usabilty can be 
improved by swapping the buttons and by making the 
submit-button something larger (e.g. "Subscribe to 
mailinglist X"). See also:

c) if the users have already visited the page, they don't 
get a message saying the already confirmed their 
subscription.

PieterB
