I believe if the email notifications are delivered with the actual content, it may allow many to respond sooner and faster.
Please look into it.

Cheers,

Thanks, and we can talk about it. We haven't done this in the past because we wanted to encourage community interaction, and a possible note from the poster that they can try it, or give a reason why not. Putting it in the email means that they may not bother to visit the site and respond.

I felt that when we receive the mail with the message we will be more encouraged to respond.
Generally, not all can respond to all questions. Additionally, some times the title does not give a good reflection on what area the thread related to.

May be its only I who think this way ....

If you get a mail, you have already posted in the thread. So you should have some idea of what's in there.

I receive mails on all subjects (not only threads) I have subscribed to. For example, I receive mails on "Administering"
It is different from the threads I have responded to....

However, I do not want to press more for it. I can read the thread anyway.

Which means that you've subscribed to the entire forum. That's not default setup.

hmmm...
May be sending the content only when a new topic is added may be a useful thing. Later we can subscribe to the messages individually.

I dont know what is right, May be it is me only feel this way.
