Test post - just checking email behaviour

This is all very new stuff so would just like to check my email subscription behaviour.

  • Having subscribed to this topic with 'instant' selected I received an email containing the contents of my post.



    I'd already got all the boxes under 'Settings' checked but received no emails - subscription to this topic was also required. That's very confusing.



    The email received was from 'community@theiet.org' and included the topic in the email subject line.



    Currently no human readable indication from which community in the email, though no doubt that is encoded in the hyperlink.



    This means I cannot reply to the discussion using an email client - I have to use this embedded editor - nor is it obvious how to apply an email filter to automatically apply labels to 'IET South Yorkshire Network' community discussions.



    Given that the same topic may well be under discussion by many different IET communities at the same time, being unable to apply automatic filters to route incoming emails seems a recipe for confusion.



    Have passed these comments onto the community team.
