    Private email message

    If you send a private email to a member using that members profile site, do you receive a copy of that email in your own member profile web site?

    Jerome,

    When you send a private email to someone you will get any replies to your email address. So if you send a private email to someone you are giving them your email address without knowing theirs unless they reply.

    You can send Private Messages to someone on the Tech Board and they will only get a message by email telling them what the message is and that they need to come back to the Tech Board and reply to the Private Message.

    All to often they just reply to the notification without reading it through and then it comes to me instead of the person they intended.

      The choices are private email and email. When you send email, the NCRS web site stores and forwards it to the recepient. You're limited to NCRS web site restrictions (no attachments, Etc.), but the recepient gets your ISP address and you can strike up off-board disscusion(s) from there using your standard email composer(s)...

      When you go the private route, the NCRS web site acts as a middle man and both party's email address specifics are hidden. But, the restrictions of the the NCRS site (length of message, format, embedded/attached file prohibitions govern.

      The private route is a means to thwart 'farming' and harvesting member email address information. Each member can enable/disable private email as well as conventional email via his account profile options.
