I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents - I saw the recent announcement and was deeply disappointed. I've gotten a few updates so far for the vb4 versions of mods I have installed and was not only happy to receive them - I was thankful that the coders took the time to let me know they had a vb4-compatible version. It cuts my time in half - now I have a separate e-mail folder to house the vb4-compatible notification e-mails (or atleast ... the ones that were sent before the announcement was made) and when I go to upgrade to vb4 in the near future, I can just refer to those e-mails instead of having to search through the vb4 mods forum. Makes my job a heck of a lot easier.
IMHO - Better to delete an unwanted e-mail than to never receive a wanted one.
To those who consider a vb4 announcement spam, with all the real spam I get already, hitting delete on a few more e-mails that I had originally opted into but now am not interested in receiving is no big deal. Fact of the matter is that by installing the modification and clicking "Installed" we're opting into receiving these e-mails.
It's too bad that people who aren't upgrading to VB4 (and thus don't want the VB4 compatible announcement e-mails) have to ruin a good thing for the rest of us.
