只通过电子邮件回复私人信息

功能
1

I would like to enable PM replies by email without enabling email replies to regular discussions. Since the infrastructure is in place for email replies, I’m guessing this is an option that could be added pretty easily.

We don’t see many users trying to respond to regular topics via email. They get it… go back to the site, post your response there.

But when PM notifications show up with someone’s name in the title, plenty of non-savvy users will write a nice long (sometimes very private) email response, and fire it off… where it lands back in my inbox. Usually I’ll forward them on to the intended recipient via email.

I could train all my users to never reply via email. But the easier way to handle it would be to gracefully take the email and convert it to a PM, send a notification to the other party, who can then also respond via email.

AFAIK this function exists, but also enables email responses for the whole site. I’m asking for a PM-only option.

Why not just enable email replies in general? I am not really following here.

I’ve a client that wants the same. Emailed responses can have annoying signatures and other botched formatting. He’d like to disable reply-by-email. (I’m not entirely sure whether he cares about PMs, though).

这也说得通。

我想关闭网站的电子邮件回复功能，以鼓励用户在我们的实际网站上进行互动（这样可以获得用户跟踪、更丰富的体验、更高质量的帖子、没有不必要的电子邮件或附件等所有好处）。

然而，私信保留电子邮件回复功能仍然非常有用。私信的功能已经很像电子邮件了，强迫用户访问网站进行回复会增加阻力，而且适得其反。

我注意到论坛帖子通知电子邮件的默认延迟是 10 分钟（这会增加通过电子邮件发帖时错过近期回复的风险），而私信的延迟只有 20 秒。所以我们已经对它们进行了不同的处理。为什么不彻底一点呢？

另外，我们的聊天功能没有电子邮件回复功能。这是为什么呢？
