Having sent a few PMs recently, do you automatically delete as S-PAM when you get one of these in your email?

Not sure what you're getting at here, Sam. If these alerts bother you turn them off at the check-box in your inbox.

Thanks for your reply Bandersnatch.

Sorry for the confusion, I'm really talking about those I sent. None, I might add, were of an urgent nature.

However, with several PMs remaining in my 'Sent' box marked 'Unread', perhaps I should first alert the recipient in the M.E. public domain!?

Of course it's the recipients choice to ignore/delete.

Just wondering.

Regards,

Sam

They don’t necessarily get any notification of a PM by email. Depends if they have even set a profile or preferences.

I expect most without a profile have likely not considered an email notification for PMs.

If you have selected to be notified of PMs then you will be sent that e-mail whenever one is sent to you.

If you have not selected to be notified you won't get one and will just have to look at the forum, this can be a reason why you are left with unread PMs as people who don't visit regularly or are just blind to the flashing envelope etc don't know they have a PM waiting.

Personally I don't like a thread full of "PM sent" type messages though may use it for a new member who does not know their way around the site.

Ah! Now the penny drops.

To think I’ve been posting here since 2010, and never gave that a thought. Thanks Jason.

To those who haven’t, how about a few lines for your profile?

Regards to all,
