added link so receiver of PM can easily view sender's profile.
1.0.3 - cleaned up code and added link for recipient of PM to view sender's profile from within PM
1.0.4 - Fixed bug which was wrongly sending PM to someone when user added someone to his/her ignore list
To Install: Just import the xml file as a product from within AdminCP>PluginSystem>ManageProducts>Add/ImportProduct

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!
Thanks: Thanks to Andreas for writing the [HowTo] Send PM's Automatically. This was inspired by Cloud Warrior's really cool vbFriends hack, which lacked this functionality and it seemed like many people would want it.
about: I'm taking this out of beta, as i think it's working all right by now. Any advice on how to improve this, comments, or bugs - are more than welcome, as I will do my best to address all.
If you use this, please click the install thingie

This is a export of the plug-in that works on my system, you can open it up and see the changes I have made.
The best part about this is... when Antivirus gets around to updating this the correct way, all you will have to do is reinstall and overwrite what is already there.
^ Trouble with that is it only works when you click on the link from someone's profile, not when you just add someone through the actual buddylist page.
QUESTION & FEATURE:
in the PM, does it allow the user to disallow / delete the friend request?
Say "adam" adds "lucy". lucy gets a PM saying she's been added, and also allowing her to add him.
in that PM, Lucy should receive a link to delete the friendship from occuring - because maybe shedoesn't want to be even seen on his profile.
Sorry, have been really busy with some other things, and haven't been able to get to it yet. It's on my to-do list for next version of this hack however...
Any updates to when you will add this feature or are you going to abandon this hack?
QUESTION & FEATURE:

Please keep in mind that this hack has nothing to do with "friend requests". You might be confusing this hack's functionality with Cloudwarrior's vbfriends hack (which was what inspired this hack). This hack simply sends a PM to "user 2" when "user 1" adds "user 2" to his/her buddy list. To answer your question, when "user 2" receives the PM, he/she is able to either add "user 1" to his/her buddy list, or if "user 2" feels "user 1" is harassing, add "user 1" to his/her ignore list.

I will not be abandoning this, and I will be updating this to 3.6.x sometime after I fully upgrade my sites to 3.6 which I am currently in the process of doing so.

I hope this will help you.
I?ve installed it on 3.6.2 and it works fine. THX.
