Default action for PM Receipts

An old mini-mod by me, released now because of a request.

I am not sure if i based this on an hack by someone else or not. Did a quick search and could not find anything. If it is based on someone elses work, please contact me by PM.

Some users get irritated about the popup asking if they want a answer a requested read receipt on reading PM or if they want to request a receipt on sending a new pm.
This hack give users the possibility, to change this behaviour in their profile.

Users can access this setting from their User CP-->Edit Options as the last 2 options in the Messaging and notification section.

Users can choose the following:
- Ask - This is the default and will give the same behaviour as on an unhacked board.
- Never - There will never be a send a receipt on a request, no popup.
- Allways - There will allways be send a receipt when requested requested, no popup.

PS The usergroup setting "Can Deny Private Message Read Receipt Request" is respected by this hack.
This mean that for usergroups where this is set to Yes it will allways send a confirmation.

Good practise is to always backup files before changing them!

Because this hack allows the user to decide for themselves how they want to handle it via their UserCP, rather than being hard-coded into the form.

Thanks for the feedback

BTW, I just implemented something like that with my very first hack (posted in this room), which allows the user to decide if they want the standard PM notification popup, or would rahter have a flahing image over their "Welcome, UserName", like:

Since none of the coders have seen the vB3.5 source code, this question is impossible to answer.

She is asking for a future version 3.5, not the old 3.0.5.
