Description

I am aware this is on the todo list, but I am inclined to have a go at implementing it over the next couple of weeks.

I am thinking of two possible types of email notification for this module;
1. per-action notification where both users in a handshake are emailed a notification on every action.
2. Daily notification where a user is sent an email summary of all actions they are involved with, if the user has had no interacions no email will be sent.

I have a fairly good idea how to approach it based on existing mail functions, but I would like to know if anyone has a preference over which of the above should be attempted first?

Ryan, have you given any thought to where it would be best to start in the existing code?

all the best,
D

I have not begun to look at where to insert messaging code. I would lean toward item #2 first. I would also lean toward using the messaging module as it is a good API that is up-and-coming. I'll be using it on my sites for the notifications module - specifically, daily digests of OG posts. On a site with a ton of users, daily digests of messages are very valuable.
