RE: Notification option

##EFCODE##c'mon, gyps!

your name was just taken in vain!

That's gotta be worthy of a fifth post.

##EFCODE##Not sure I could handle turning e-mail replies back into PM's, but sure, why not?

Wibs or somebody gave me some pointers that helped me resolve the e-mail this package had - e-mail works differently in php under linux than it does under windows. But we have all that stuff turned off anyway so there's never any e-mail.

What do you think would be appropriate. Would it be OK to just give the text of the message and say who it's from and to, or do you think I should try and go the whole HTML formatting route?

heh. since there's no authentication of e-mail addresses, half of you presumably have michael.eisner@disney.com or president@whitehouse.gov in your profile (I know I do!). Probably get our asses in trouble with the CANSPAM laws.

##EFCODE##ygsm,

any interest in coding an emailer for when we get a PM?

Option to let the user plug in/change an email address (or IM account?) to be notified when someone has PM'd them?

Well of course, HTML mail would be teh cool, but clearly it would be more work.

As far as the fake email addresses - dunno. Without authentication, could be a problem.

Silly me, I figured if someone set themselves up for the email option, they'd be serious. D'uh gypsy.
