Email digests - not just for absent members?

[tobiaseigen]

this is a dupe of a topic I created a few years ago.

Option to always receive Activity Summaries even when you've been on the forum

I’d like to see an option in the preferences to “always send digests” at the desired frequency no matter what, even if the user has been on the forum recently. I’ve been seeing what is sent to others from my discourse on mandrill and am feeling jealous! Even if I’ve been visiting it does not mean I am up to date on all the discussions, and I am sometimes sloppy about wrapping up loose ends, so I’d like to get the newsletter anyway.
