There are a handful of missing messaging features that are becoming increasingly urgent for us, and I think the discourse team probably agree they need to happen but they are lower on your priority list than ours. Is there anything I can do to help speed it up, besides becoming a hosting customer?
For now, in my community, I am changing the email button text from āRead Messageā to āView Recipientsā.
I feel like pushing users to the site should be the main objective while trying to avoid the pitfalls.
I posted some email footer enhancements tips for Reply Privately and other features using existing Discourse shortcodes and Customize Text. I didnāt check any of the group email templates or related email text but maybe some of the codes are already present or could be implemented in a similar way.
