This may be a feature request, but for now I’m trying to figure out why I’ve got some users who are pending in some invite-only forums.

These are automated replies, of course, but I can’t see the content to review it.

In the case of the postmark user, I also can’t delete the user as Discourse says that user has a post.

I also see this frequently on another discourse of mine where the user gets an email at [jdoe@old-domain.com](mailto:jdoe@old-domain.com) and replies from their new address, [jdoe@new-domain.com](mailto:jdoe@new-domain.com) I’d like to see that reply so I can credit it to them, then handle their email change.

How can I see the emails that trapped these users?

Thanks!

Have you tried using their email address to filter the list of `received` emails?

I just did, and saw that their record, but not the content.

I did find what I needed in `/admin/email/rejected` however… body & all. So, thanks for the pointer!
