Re: Try out email subscriptions

timskii, there are no plans to add any new user options for this feature, there’s no need.

As for the time issue, it’s possible that it could generate a lot of email but that doesn’t mean you’re going to be marked as spam. It’s nice to have one-per-message especially for threading and following conversations in things like Gmail. If anyone gets too much email, they can one-click unsubscribe from the thread and follow it in a different manner, like RSS. This is how new comment notifications have worked for years on the blog side, and it’s been fine.

I don’t agree Matt, for example Gmail marks mail messages as spam if you get too much with the same content (even messages from Google Groups).

vBulletin has a feature that only one message is send for replies by a unique member.

I stopped developing that kind of plugin because these timestamps / filters are too much work with the current version. I will not use the subscription function if there is an email message for each reply and I’m sure I’m not the only one…
