Thought I'd post an update...

Though I subscribed yesterday to a thread at TWYH I did not receive any "direct replies" in my email, as I should according to my subscription.

However I DID receive ONE email from the thread, though it was NOT a "direct reply" to me. In fact, it was a direct reply to someone else who posted in the thread. It was the 46th reply in that thread SINCE I subscribed, and there have been a total of 62 posts in that thread since I subscribed, though I only received one in my email, which was NOT a direct reply to me. (recalling also that the "Alert me by email when someone posts to this thread" is also checked and again, only ONE email has arrived out of 62 potentials so far...)

I hope that helps in some way, the seeming randomness of what DOES come through via email, and what doesn't, is truly perplexing from a user standpoint! Perhaps it makes more sense at the programming level?

Thanks!
