E-mail Improvements

[Fencergrl]

I would like to see the following:

1) When you e-mail someone, I would like to select from a drop down table, such as a member's list and/or a self -created group of favorites.

2) If you send the e-mail to someone, I think they should be able to see the others that recieved the e-mail. I am part of a small gathering of members who have the same interests. We use the e-mail to send messages to all members of our little group. It's hard to tell if I should forward a message or not, because I don't know who recieved the same message.

3) We can post attachments, but we are unable to send attachments by e-mail. I would like to see this feature.

1 and 3 sound fine. What the heck use is making someone a "buddy" anyways? What can you do? No notifications when they are online...

2 however, is a privacy issue. As someone who deals with spam on a daily basis, exposing email addresses is NOT a good thing.

Just my thoughts...

I'm talking about the in-house personal e-mail system that Fencing.net uses, so your name showing would be "esskreemr" not your e-mail address.

You mean private messages?

BINGO!
Was in the middle of a post and couldn't remember the name and was too lazy to jump in and out of the post.
Thanks!

These are good suggestions.

The next version of the software that runs the forum is coming out for beta in June. Given that I'm going to have to make some major revisions to that code base to take advantage of that new version and integrate it back with the modifications I have running here, I don't see being able to get to something like this until after August.

If these enhancements are part of the overall code change for the forum, then it will be easy, if not then this would get slotted after development to better integrate AskFred data to fencing.net.

Thanks for the suggestion.
