I think another issue is that if the user replies with an HTML formatted
message, I don't think the processor will necessarily be able to parse
it. With the growth of Web Email clients and just the over all growth of
HTML formatted mail, this is getting more common. The confirmation
message, as I remember, talks of "just hitting reply" as the simplest
way to confirm, with the web link as a backup. I am tempted to rewrite
the message to ask them to click the link first, and save the reply
option as a backup if they can't follow a link.
