Mod Name / Version: Private Messages Via Email 1.2
Version 1.1 updates instructions to work with Threads ver 6.2
Version 1.2 fixes an error in the "Sender's Name" when a new message is sent w/ preview. Added the feature where it will email you a copy of the message if you click "save a copy"-thanks sportbikes.
Description: This hack expands the notification of Private Messages via email by showing you the actual message, and who it is from inside the email. Great way to keep up with your PMs when you don't have time to browse the site, and an excellent way to save PMs before they are purged from the database by the admins. Also changes the subject of the email to contain the actual subject of the PM as I sometimes have 50 "You Have New Messages" messages.
If you have email notification of Private Messages on, and you click "save a copy" when sending a PM, a copy to save will be emailed to you.
Working under: 6.2
