Description

There are three problems with the "Add messages from this email to the forum" when using notifications. Fixing these allows seamless integration with an email address without a separate receiver list.

  1. Outgoing email forum notifications should use a subject format that can be parsed into the right thread if someone replies to it if "Add messages from this email to the forum" is set.
  2. Outgoing email forum notifications should use the "Originating email address for mails from this forum" address so replies go to the right box (this should have worked, but didn't for me without a fix....)
  3. Replies have the "Re:" removed before posting to find the right thread. This needs to be added back or the resulting notification email is confusing.
  4. The "From" on notifications has the posters name while the email address is the forum address. This is confusing to users.


The fixes are only about 5 lines. I've attached the fixed notificationemaillib.php and commentslib.php. Fixes are marked with "AJH".
