E-mail address used with private message notice

Post by Deane Clark »

I noticed today that I got a private message from Steve Emert, but the notice in my e-mail about it had Mike Kibat's e-mail as the "from" address.

Can the private message feature be set up to use either the e-mail address of the member sending the private message, or a generic "from" address of the kind that you can't respond to?

Do you get occasional responses to these notice messages?

It doesn't appear that the PM notices can be configured in this way--the PM notices are tagged with the administrator's email address (mine).

The only email options I see determine whether to use your computer's email program to send an email response to a topic (e.g. Outlook) or to use a forum screen for this purpose. I just tried this, but it doesn't affect the operation of the PM function.

Oh, and you can ignore the comment in my test email to you -- I went ahead and reset the email option so it will use your email client and not the forum function to send email.
