Better email alerts
Perhaps posts to threads you already replied to could automatically trigger an email alert, less clumsy than Microsoft Alerts? Most forums just send you an email with a direct link to the thread. The Microsoft Alert by email has no direct link to the thread, and the enabling of email alerts is clumsy. If I look at the attached html file, which I donotwant (plain text please please), I can see a link, but the plain text version is:
Microsoft Alerts from Microsoft Forums
xxx@xxx.com
You have received the following alert from Microsoft Forums
There's a new post in a Forums thread you are tracking!, "Re: Invoking components".
Add more alerts:http://alerts.microsoft.com
Go to My Alerts page to view your alerts:http://alerts.microsoft.com
Go to Microsoft Forums:http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/alertsSignup.aspx
This is fairly useless. I use plain text for email reading for many reasons, mainly spam, and file size.
