Title: EVERYONE READ THIS! Responding to pm's via email
Post by: Marty on February 12, 2012, 01:49:05 PM

Okay, I've just received one message too many, so this is you're only notification.

If you receive an email notification that you have received a private message through this site, you have to go to the site to respond!

If you click reply in the email, your reply gets sent to me, not the person who sent you the pm.  So from now on, if you're too stupid to follow directions, you're on your own!

I say this because it says right in the message, DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE!

Maybe it'd work best to setup a second email account that is used to send the notifications? Then if people reply to it, it'll be going into a "black hole" of an email account that is never checked?

Or a more polite version, perhaps will autoreply to anyone who sends the account an email to notify them of their mistake?

There isn't a way I can do that (that I can see) that would allow me to separate system messages from responses to pm's.  So that would just end up being another email address I would have to remember to check.
