PM email notifications

[Joni]

Whats his name? He could learn through embarrasment...

My honest opinion... if he does not get what notification is, what are the chances he will see this thread (even tho I have emailed him the link 3 times now)...

Grrr, I suppose Im just cranky today... tommorow nice Jo will be helping again... I suppose Im the idiot and not him!

Can’t you just set up a rule to auto delete them when they come in then you’ll never know about them. The notifications go out with standard wording in them, and presumably are coming back with this wording still in the body of the message. You should be able to set up to recognise this and bin the thing. This shouldn’t be hard to do and would solve your problem.

Joni, Spank should be able to change the email that goes out to have a field called 'reply-to'. An example is in the picture attached.

Just make the 'reply-to' email address a dedicated email address that autoresponds with a message saying 'Please login to KB to reply to your PMs....idiot'.

Sorry for the heavy editing....there is a war on you know.

[The_Dover]

or..... put his own address in the reply to field.

then he'll feel like a right prick emailing himself.

[Joni]

I am dumb founded by some people - I suppose we should not all presume everyone is as internet savvy as yourself...

Did another 2 today... sent the link to this thread

I like Skels one suggestion - a "please dont reply to thie email" feature... should work. (or you should think it would work)

You have much still to learn about idiots.

Thank you Grasshopper....now where did i leave my flute.....

[crashe]

So I want to make sure that I get this correct in my head...

In my 'private message' section I go there and click on it to open it up....

So if we click on REPLY will that message go to the recipent in their private message box that quoted us... or does that message get lost in the system back at KB?


Cheers to whoever answers this question for me.

[Joni]

Crashe - just log on and reply to a pm... in other words reply via KB... you cant reply to a pm via email.

Joni - I aint talking about the notification via email that I get as I just delete them as they come in....

Im talking about in the private message section on KB itself. Can we reply back to the person in that actual message to them as it does say REPLY at the bottom of the QUOTE message.

I would like to reply back via that REPLY button but wouldnt want it lost in the KB system that you have to sort throu....

Damn its hard trying to explain this......lol.

Damn it and its only mondayitis.... lol.

[Joni]

For goodness sake Crashe - of course you can reply to your pm's, just as long as you are logged on... thats what a pm is for, a private message/conversation.

This thread is about email notifications...

Ok ok Joni...... settle petal........ I was just verifing something in my own head with someone on KB that could answer my question.

Prehaps you need to reorganise the wording to give more emphasis to the log in first part, and put it at the top of the email.

ie...

Do NOT Reply to this Email.
You MUST LOG IN TO KB here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/private.php to respond to, read or delete the original version of your Private Message.


something like that, or just preview the message header, not the body.

I like Dover's suggestion, except it'd get trapped by most mail filters with an anti-spoofing rule.

LOL - Speaking of which . . . Dover, didn't someone post an anti spoofing rule on your flat fridge one time? Story of your life eh?
