@mcwumbly, yeah, actually this is one I am still scratching my head about. We were discussing an “inbox”-like-permission for category-system before, which I think makes more sense at least in the case if a user can’t post because they aren’t part of that group. But then again, this should be part of the usual discourse permission system and not act any different for mails imho. (and as my implementation totally relies on the guardian, this would probably work in the future, too).
@erlend_sh, interesting indeed. Didn’t see that one yet, but it is very similar to my code actually. @watchmanmonitor , what do you think about collaborating on this feature?
