Forum Phrases not working in email
 

Okay, this is unusual, and I was hoping someone could shed light on this.

I sent myself this email through the email manager:

Quote:

--------------------
To stop receiving this email, please visit this URL:
$vboptions[bburl]/register.php?do=deleteactivation&u=$userid&i=$acti vateid

In the email some phrases work others don't.

However, $vboptions[bbtitle], $vboptions[bburl], $vboptions[webmasteremail] do not work, though $username and $activateid do work.

The email will literally say:

Why is this? How can I fix it?

Oddly, I create a new test account. The exact same email was sent automatically and it works. Why does this email work when the site sends it automatically, but it doesn't work when I use the email manager?
