Re^4: here frequency ?

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?
