Hello,

In RForum, why don’t the reply notification mails contain anything  
useful? The lines of text I would expect to contain useful info, only  
say:

Read the message at .

and

Switch off notification for this topic:

And, why does one have to enable e-mail notifcation by hand? I would  
find it logical if it is turned on for any message you reply/make. I  
believe there was an option to set this before, like PHPBB, but it seems  
to have disappeared.

Hmm, for this forum, instead of ruby on rails, I did get a useful  
notification e-mail. Is this a bug in RForum?
