Does the opt out URL work with Message Templates?

I'm testing this and finding that it's not.

I have included this as a link in an email that's supposed to be the first email people get from our system:

{action.optOutUrl}

I'm not sure where it links to because it seems to provide a link to reopen the web-based email.

Is it supposed to work in the Message Templates defined in civicrm/admin/messageTemplates?selectedChild=user&reset=1 ?

Kinda urgent - any advice appreciated!!

Thanks, it was explained to me that it is really an 'opt out of bulk mailings' link so if it's not sent with a bulk mailing it won't work.

I made an opt-out profile by listing only the 'No bulk emails' checkbox.
