Question About Vbulletin Email features

[dcpaq2xx]

Hello,

I am interested in possibly purchasing Vbulletin but Im looking for a certain feature or capability and would like to know for sure if Vbulletin has this before I buy.

I did not see this question asked yet, so I am sorry if its been asked before.

I am looking to replace a yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/) for something much better.

The individual emails / mailing list feature I one feature they have that I have found that every other message board out there does not have so far.

For those of you who have never used yahoo groups, when a member posts a message on the message board, any member who has selected to receive their posts via email will have the message emailed to them along with any file attachments and html coding in the message body.

Then after the member reads the received email from the yahoo group, if they decide that they would like to reply to the post they can hit reply on the email client and then type up a reply and attach a file if they like and then click the send button and the email will get posted to the message that the original came from.

My questions to all is will Vbulletin send out emails when a message is posted to the forum?

The closest i have come to yahoos email feature is phpbb and the m2f program. (mail 2 forum)

Thanks

Doug
