Just in case users of this forum are unaware there is another very substantial thread about this mod here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...151222&page=61

We are now running this on a live vBulletin site and I thought it might be worth sharing some of the issues we have come across;

1. We had a small number of posts by email that displayed the html code in the email - we seem to have solved this by switching to plain text in the settings.
   
2. Users clicked 'reply' after receiving an email notification of a new post, then cleared the whole email composition window and typed their reply, resulting in a new thread being created by EI.
   
3. Users accidentally editing the dashed lines resulting in the whole reply email being puiblished in the forum, rather than what was just between the dashed lines - I'm surprised this wasn't treated as a new thread by EI.
   
4. One user couldn't figure out why he couldn't type his reply between the dashed lines before he clicked 'reply', (he thought it was because he was using a Mac!).
   
5. Users have also experienced some formatting/line break issues, possibly because their email text has been pasted from another application.
   
6. We have noticed that some users tend to reply to any email with a completely unrelated post which belongs in another forum. In this instance we move the post, however if another user respond to the original post by email, their reply ends up in the original forum, rather than the forum the post was moved to.

Although all but one of these are user related problems, they should be considered carefully before using EI on a large, busy vBulletin site, because it could easily create a heavy admin load for the site owner.
