 Today I received an email that I wanted to opt out of (unsubscribe from).
 The URL given to opt out (in the footer) is:

 http://careers.stackoverflow.com/email/optout/myemailaddress@gmail.com/CpEzg

 The Chrome extension causes this URL to be redirected to:

 http://careers.stackoverflow.com/email/optout/myemailaddress@mail.google.com/CpEzg

 ...where obviously the token given at the end of the URL doesn't match my
 email address, so the unsubscribe functionality is broken.

 I've verified this is caused by the HTTPS Everywhere extension - disabling
 the extension causes the link to not be redirected. Nothing is displayed
 in the console, and the original GET is displayed as Pending in the Chrome
 network inspector.

 Chrome extension version: 2012.5.1

 Many thanks,

 Alex
