Answers.Text: Personally, regarding the opt-out link, I think this is a case of "Yes, it should work, but no it doesn't" . I wouldn't consider using scheduled reminders for membership renewals as "new and interesting", and I thnk we should have been able to foresee that someone receiving a membership reminder might want to opt out of future emails if they have decided not to renew. But I do agree that we can't expect the core team to "fix" this.

  <p>Our email template includes this: </p>

  I'm new to working with Scheduled Reminders, and am trying to figure out how to include our org's standard forward, opt out and sent-from info in each reminder, as we do with bulk Civi emails.
  
  Our email template includes this:
  
  ====
  
  # To forward this to a friend {action.forward} To never receive any email from the RFC {action.optOutUrl} This email is sent from: {domain.address}
  
  But those tokens don't seem to work when I copy and paste into reminders. I don't understand why, or how to properly set up forward, opt out and sent from address in reminders.
