Mod Name / Version: Private Messages Via Email 1.0

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. A 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.

Example: Instead of generic emails... Private Message Email notifications will now look like this:
[]
You have received a private message on the board at MEASURECTION.com. You can go to http://www.measurection.com/test/login.php to view it.
 
****DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL. YOU MUST REPLY USING THE PRIVATE MESSAGE SYSTEM AT THE SITE.****
