i want to create a newsletter double opt in.

- the user enters their email in a uniform form and clicks submit.
- then an email action triggers and they get a \_recieve-copy mail with an custom link created by a [snippet](https://github.com/mzur/kirby-uniform/wiki/Action:-Email#snippet).
- like: click here to subscribe to our newsletter [Example Domain](http://www.example.com?email=your%40email.com&newsletter-optin=yes)

but i can not get the users email within the snippet. \_from is private and blocked in the action. is there any way without changing the action?

it is possible already. the quoted code is called when there is no snippet. silly me. 😊
