Public links to share sent emails should NOT show merge fields
planned

To create a gallery of past emails, or simply to link to a sent email, you can use 'MORE > Share link'. But that link includes the raw merge tags and fall-back fields, which means the random user who clicks the link will see something like "Dear {{ people.first-name | default: 'Friends' }}" - which makes it unusable. Public links to sent emails should always use the fallback items and never show the raw merge tags. This would be consistent with most if not all other email platforms.

Peter Bartlett This is great, thank you. But can I just clarify - I want seperate links, one for internal use (with merge tags etc) and one for the public. I don't want to have to choose and only have one link.
Use-case examples:
1.
I finish a draft email, then use the link to show my manager for approval (my manager who does not have to login to Ortto). This link would show all the merge tags.
2.
On a subscribe page, I want to create a gallery of pictures of emails which click through to the actual email. Or I want to send a user to the online version of an email we sent which has the answer to their question. -- In this case, I want a link which goes to the email with the fallback terms and no merge tags.
So I'd like two links, one for use-case (1) and the other for use-case (2).
