    I'm not sure if this is in the works, or requested before, but i think
    it would be nice to have an option to recieve email notifications about
    message replies to your name directly.

    i think receiving constant notifications about threads would be TOO MUCH traffic; but if a user was notified if there was a reply directly to them in msg bases it would be helpful.

    Perhaps. Seems like the job for a timed event (which would scan the subs and queue the mail) rather than an internal feature. There are many ways to get messages into the system and having each of those ways check the "to" user against the userbase and enqueue and email would be a bad design. I know you hate JS, but this would be pretty trivial to do in JavaScript.
