Anybody know off hand how to make it so that when someone receives an email on a subscribed topic, it shows the entire post discussion in the email from everyone who posted in the topic, instead of just the generic "so and so replied to a topic that you're subscribed to. Click here to see the topic.."

vBulletin allows it so that the entire post or thread is shown in the email. Would like to have that feature. Thanks!

What if the topic is over 10 pages, you want all replies from these pages in these emails? Showing the last post is doable, but what if it's a daily, or even weekly, digest?
You want to calculate the unread posts for all the followers of the topic, which could be 100?

And don't you want people to visit your forums to read the replies? Isn't that what a forum is all about?


I'm not saying that you can't request such a feature, I'm just asking you to reconsider it with the amount of added stress to the server in mind.
