Thanks for reacting. Actually it’s different: As I also mentioned in https://meta.discourse.org/t/send-me-an-email-when-someone-messages-me/ , there are two settings one can put to “always”, “when away” and “never”:
- “Send me an email when someone messages me” (actually means “… when there is a new post in a category I watch/follow”)
- “Send me an email when someone quotes me, replies to my post, mentions my @username, or invites me to a topic”,
When I enable “daily summary”, I don’t want to get every message about every category I watch/follow via mail in parallel, right? Because that’s the point of a daily digest.
In order to achieve that, I put 1 to “never”. Then I only receive emails, when somebody replies directly to one of my posts, mentions me or invites me to a topic (2).
Now when somebody sends a private message, that one is not covered by 2, so I won’t receive it, until I visit the website. Why would I do that, since I receive all post via daily digest?
