Is that because I subscribed to etcetera in general and always choose to subscribe to my posting in addition? Is that a feature or a bug? Personally, I find it rather confusing and unnecessary. --- (Edited on 24.04.2008 07:51 [GMT+0200] by bernd) ---

If you post to a thread you are subscribed to it. That is why you receive two emails. Some users don't want to receive all posts in a forum, so they only subscribe to their thread; however, some do want all posts emailed to them, which is why you can also subscribe to a forum to receive everything. You should only be receiving two emails when you are participating in a thread. Otherwise, you will only receive one. --- (Edited on 4/24/2008 8:06 am [GMT-0500] by kristi) ---

Hm, I see the point in differentiating between subscriptions to the forum and subscriptions to a particular thread. But why send the message twice? Wouldn't it be easy enough to check whether a user has already subscribed to the entire forum and not send the message a second time? Sure, it is not a big issue. But somehow I find it disturbing... --- (Edited on 25.04.2008 07:25 [GMT+0200] by bernd) ---
