Re: Mail-Reminder in Thread

On your 'User Settings' page, there is an option called '/msg me when a reply to one of my posts arrives'. That might do what you want.

OK, you got me ;-) Never looked at that option with my thinking switched to ON, it seems. Thanks for pointing me there! Will that be a personal message in the chatterbox then?

Indeed it will be a private message on the chatterbox. However if you really want to recive an email then I would suggest that you parse the contents of private message xml ticker with a tool such as XML::Simple. Run that program from cron (or eqivilent) and when items occur, send an email to yourself using one of the cpan Mail modules or by piping to '/usr/sbin/sendmail' on unix systems.	[reply]

That won't be necessary. The personal chatter will be enough. Thx. Regards Stefan K `$dom = "skamphausen.de"; ## May The Open Source Be With You! $Mail = "mail@$dom; $Url = "http://www.$dom";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
