Respuesta por correo como mensaje privado

[Json_Blob (Jason Costanza)]

I have a new discourse community starting up and we’re trying to support mailing list users as best we can.

A user has asked if they can respond to a public thread notification email privately, as a private message to the poster who made it. That word-soup sounds confusing so here’s steps:

1. User A makes a new public thread on discourse
2. User B receives an email notification of the new topic
3. User B has two options

• reply to the email which makes a public response
  or
• go to the discourse website and click the username, click message, and then type their message as a private message.

Is there a shorter, email direct way of achieving that last bullet point?

I don’t know if that’s possible, but users sometimes get confused about the intended recipient when replying by email. If a Public post —> Private email reply is possible, it should be very conspicuous where the message is going.

See this:

Difficult to tell that watched category notifications are to the forum

I’ve got a community of mostly older and non-technical users. Several times people have responded to email notifications to a public post as if the notification were sent to them rather than to the forum (or the person that the message was a reply to). In gmail, for instance, I see this: [image] If I expand “to pfaffman” I see that the message was sent to my email address, which still makes it look (to someone less familiar with Discourse than I am) like David is replying to me personally rat…

No. Discourse does not share email addresses with other users. They will need to visit the site and send a pm like you said.

Gotcha, that was one of my suspicions unless you guys had some black magic in the background which would handle rerouting the reply somehow.

@pfaffman Para mantener privadas las direcciones de correo electrónico, ¿sería posible reemplazar el destinatario de respuesta por un alias de correo que envíe un mensaje directo? Los mensajes directos ya se envían y se pueden responder mediante correo electrónico.
