in thread here frequency ?

But maybe I'm the only one with this problem?

:) No, but other people are more content with the nature of these things ... reach out, maybe you get an answer today/week/month, maybe never, but its all you can do, its life

    I don't know anything about the PM codebase, but would it be an option to tie one's username to an email address (opt-in), so when they get a /msg or other notification, it gets sent to their email?

    Of course I do see potential risk of spam with this, but if it's off by default and can be toggled after a user enables it, it might be a good approach. This would eliminate the need for tracking of other info (at least for the reasons LanX originally created this thread for).

    Update: possibly remove the option automatically for the user if there are three or more email bounces in a row, leaving them a /msg for if/when they do return?

      :) If your "friend" wanted you to have his email, you would already have it .... reply notifications by email feature was rejected ... and by comparison this /msg-by-email feature is a unicorn
