Forum Maintenance: Notification Fixes + Email-to-Post Bridge

Short changelog from the latest forum round.

Bug fixes

  • Notification emails were silently failing. Replies in threads you started or commented on weren't producing email notifications. Fixed — they now land.
  • "View the full thread" link in notification emails was 404-ing. The link pointed at the wrong domain. Fixed — it now goes to the right thread on forum.mail.sb.
  • Email-to-post replies pasted the entire quoted history into the body when sent from a Traditional-Chinese SOGo webmail client (the "撰寫:" header marker wasn't being recognised). Fixed — replies extract cleanly now.
  • Profile page email-visibility hint was stuck on "仅你可见" even after you'd switched your email to public. Fixed — the hint now reflects the actual setting ("已公开 / public" or "仅你可见 / 设为公开见设置").

New: email-to-forum-post bridge

  • Reply directly to any forum notification email — your reply becomes a forum post in that thread. Works from any mailbox hosted here (@mail.sb or any active BYOD domain).
  • To start a new thread, send a fresh email to [email protected]. The subject becomes the title; an optional [slug] prefix routes the post to a category — for example, [byod] DNS question lands in BYOD.
  • The bridge auto-quotes the post you replied to so threads stay readable. Quote chains are flattened to one nesting level by default; quotes you type yourself are kept as-is.
  • Replies are checked against a signed marker embedded in the original notification, so posts can't be forged from a spoofed email.

Try it: reply to your next thread notification, or email [email protected] to open a new thread.
