- A user receives an email notification for a topic they are apparently watching.

- User replies to the email notification.

- Discourse rejects the email because the user is inactive-- Email::Receiver::InactiveUserError

I assumed that it was a user error, but I’ve seen at least a couple that seem to be cases of a user who is not active receiving mail.
