Finding unsubscribe button regardless of how it is worded in emails

This simple script can only cater to the 1ˢᵗ scenario, but not the others. How can I improve it such that it will help me find clickable unsubscribe links if the 1ˢᵗ case fails?
Code: Select all
^q:: ; Find Unsubscribe button in Gmail
Sendinput {end}^f
Sleep 200
SendInput Unsubscribe
Sendinput {esc}
Sleep 100
SendInput ^{enter}
return

by law, whoever is sending u the newsletters is required to include this optional email header. u can inspect the email headers and either send an email to the specified address or visit the specified link to unsubscribe urself. that's the same as clicking the unsubscribe link(typically at the bottom), except without having to go hunt for it among a thousand possible different wording permutations
of course, if the sender isn't complying, ure sol(u can report the top the ftc if theyre based in the us i guess)
