Do you currently use the “Invite” feature to point existing users to topics you think they’d be interested in?

I just noticed the [customize invite message](https://meta.discourse.org/t/customize-invite-email-message/45417) feature doesn’t exist for sending invites to existing users.

I think it’d be nice to be able to add some personalization when doing so to indicate _why_ I’m inviting someone to a topic.

I’m a little confused about how the flow works for existing users…

Will the notification they get be sent by email if they do not visit the forum?

If not, that’d go on my list too…

As it stands now, it feels like PM’s with links to the topic or `@mentioning` the user is a more engaging way to point an existing user to a topic.
