Hi Alex!

Hm, it wasn't really intended for that... what's wrong with the RSS Feed? Isn't every E-mail client able to read RSS Feeds by now? (What about Outlook?)

Nothing is wrong with the RSS-feed; it's a wonderful thing. The e-mail notification was just a request from my users.

Not every E-mail client... for example Seamonkey needs the NewsFox extension; no idea about the M$-stuff

Or do you mean an option, to receive a notification on every reply in a thread (this is already possible if you start a new thread)?

Since this was already an option in the 1.7x branch it should be kept anyway.

Was it? AFAIK in 1.7 you only receive notifications on direct replies.

Come on, you wrote this wonderful piece of software.
