Why were the links removed from the stationery in an Autoresponder?

Anonymous Blackbaud User

Sometimes, links in an email stationery may be removed automatically when the stationery is used in an Autoresponder. This includes Unsubscribe and Tell-A-Friend links. This is normal and expected behavior - since Autoresponder emails are sent in response to a constituent's action, it does not make sense for those types of links to be included in the email.
