While of benefit to my particular needs, I am hoping that this additional module will prove useful to others.

This module is available only to a few Nabble users. We don't plan to make it available to everyone because subscribing users without a confirmation can be very dangerous.

Only one thing, it might be worth adding some guidance to the "Invite Subscriber" and "Add Subscriber" tabs (or documentation) that explain their use and differences along the following lines...

Since the module will not be released to everyone, there is no need to explain the difference between those tabs.

EDIT:Very minor point: Could the wording of the middle paragraph of the "xxx subscribed you to xxxx" mail be changed to:

"With your subscription, posts and replies will be sent directly to your email and you can reply to them to participate. Your subscription works as a mailing list."

i.e. delete the words "the same as". I don't think it will affect the meaning for forum subscribers, but "the same as" will raise questions for someone who thought they had joined a mail list.

I made this change (available after the next release).
