 * Hi there. In the page where you set up the template for creating Subscribe2 emails,
   there are two shortcode options:
 * {PERMALINK}
    {PERMAURL}
 * The description on that page is a bit confusing to me — apparently the permaurl
   is the “unformatted” version of the permalink?
 * Can anyone explain what is meant by “unformatted” here?

 * The permaurl is literally the link, the Permalink is the permaurl wrapped in 
   an HTML ‘a’ tag with the src paramater set as the permaurl too.
