> I care that your link doesn't appear to go to the same site your reply-to email would go.

From one of the last emails I read this evening: "we would like to inform you that there is a form on our website" [me]: The form is not on your website, only the link to it.

You're right, but it's much more simple to disallow links, people don't really understand the difference on a website, emails are another additional complication.




How would you recover accounts if links weren't permitted?


I'm late to this, but...

1. while developing -> send tokens for copy/paste if a user has chosen text-only emails

2. while administering -> institute the policy of having to ask one of the administrators, if it happens too often you have worse problems in any case
