Description
When the
{action.forward} token is included in a CiviMail mailing, and the mailing is archived, it is stored and displayed within CiviMail in such a way that following the link results in the following error:"Sorry but we are not able to provide this at the moment.
Invalid form parameters."
This happens if I am viewing an archived mailing (say, at 'http://mydomain.org/civicrm/mailing/view?reset=1&id=8' ) and the mailing includes a forward link created with the {action.forward}
token, clicking on the forward link will take me to 'http://mydomain.org/civicrm/mailing/forward?reset=1&jid=&qid=&h=' which does not display the forward form but rather the above error message.
Shouldn't there be the option or a version of the Forward form which doesn't try to look up the details of the original recipient of the mailing. I have a client that very much likes the 'Forward to a friend' links that can be included in a CiviMail mailout, but the problem is that the forward token then creates this a dead link on the archived, publicly accessible version of the mailing.
