Can't believe I missed it - thanks filburt1.

Okay, to make it so that if the "PM Email notification" is ON, the PM is automatically made READ when the Email is sent to you, do this:

Open private.php, find:

PHP Code:

  // enhanced
  if ($prevmessageid) { 


Above it, add:

PHP Code:

$the_pm_id = $DB_site->insert_id(); 


Those who installed the direct PM link will have the above line already from that hack.

Then, find:

PHP Code:

    if ($touserinfo[emailonpm]) { 


Underneath, add:

PHP Code:

        $DB_site->query("UPDATE privatemessage SET messageread=1, readtime='".time()."', receipt=2 WHERE privatemessageid=$the_pm_id"); 


Done.

This hack may interfere with other PM hacks. I've had to modify global.php as well. I hope it is all working now.
