Hey folks,

Apologies if my search-fu is terrible and there's already another thread on this issue.

Civi: 4.2.8

The situation is that I have a template with the following tokens: action.foward, action.optOutUrl, and domain.address. The first two tokens are wrapped around images. The last token is just displayed as normal. 
The issue that I've found is that if I go to a contact and send them an email (Actions > Send an email) and use the template, the tokens are not processed. This means that the images do not have a link on them, and the domain address token is just displayed as {domain.address} instead of populating the address information.
However, if I schedule a mailing and use the template, the tokens function as I expect them to.

Does anyone know if this is a bug or a fixable issue?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply on this, Lobo.

I realised, shortly after I'd started this topic, that the way that I was thinking about using these tokens wasn't quite right. By that I mean that I've realised that they are tokens that are tailored towards messages to contacts that are subscribed to a group (e.g. newsletter mailing list), so when sending an email you wouldn't really need to include the mailing tokens.

All good!
