I’m coming from a mailing list environment (mailman) in which users got copies of their own posts. I’m running in mailing list mode, but users who post via email won’t get copies of their own posts, so they’re not sure if they got through or not. Could an option be added to allow users to get emai…

i believe the setting is default email mailing list mode frequency and if you set it to “send email for every new post” they get notified of their own posts (the other option is “send an email for every new post except my own”). users can also set this in their own preferences (with “send me an em…

i kinda want to try it on here just to test it out but i don’t want 127 emails

Mine says 127, does yours say 172?
