New site: BlatMail, email etc

[Jonathan Kay]

• New emails of followed threads now don't link in my mail program as a single conversation (Mail.app, OS X.) This is a nuisance. They used to before the transition. Is the difference that the Subject now changes where it used to be the same? I can see the counterargument. Do others feel the same?
• I miss BlatMail. Discussed in another thread. I don't mind if others want to use in-server private mail but I'd like the old functionality back as well.
• The first line of the content of email is partially duplicated.
• The ability to stop following a thread from the email is great.
• The ability to stop following a thread from the forum without finding the triggering post is great.
• I'm not sure if the option within the forum pages to follow a whole thread or only replies to an individual post is worthwhile. If it is I'd prefer the default to be the other way: follow the whole thread.

Thanks. Jonathan

I would be interested in how frequently people use/used these facilities. I hardly ever do. I think I selected "follow" no more than once or twice deliberately and a couple of times by accident on the old site.

I'm keen that we follow a Benthamite approach to the website.
