The discussion revolves around the timeline for improving messaging features on Discourse. tobiaseigen highlights several pressing features, including inviting groups to existing messages, removing groups from messages, and customizing the footer of email notifications. As an update, tobiaseigen mentions that the first feature has been implemented, allowing groups to be invited and removed from private messages.
scombs brings up a related issue with unclear recipients in email notifications and shares a workaround by changing the email button text to โView Recipientsโ. scombs also shares some email footer enhancements using existing Discourse shortcodes and Customize Text, which could potentially be used to implement some of the requested features.
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? 
These are the most pressing ones:
Well, if it helps @tobiaseigenโs case, #1 would certainly be appreciated over at Stonehearth.
FYI - #1 has now been implemented. Groups can be invited and removed from private messages.. 
.. but #3 has not happened. Itโs back on my radar though so maybe I will try to make it happen.

Iโd also like to keep in mind
For now, in my community, I am changing the email button text from โRead Messageโ to โView Recipientsโ.
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 didnโt 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.
