Email new posting hack under consideration

[thewitt]

OK. I'm probably violating one of the rules I don't understand really well, but here goes anyway.

I'm developing a hack to send mail to people who have subscribed to a thread. I plan to give them the option of getting mail with the message in it, or getting a link back to the board.

I assume something like this is coming in a future version and that's why the subscribe option is in place now.

I assume I will throw my hack out when the new version supports this.

Does anyone have any other suggestions about what they would like to see in this kind of feature? Perhaps if I can build it once, we can all use it and it can at least be the base for what ends up in the product.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
