Revision history  [back]

Thanks One can imagine to a benevolent sponsor, we automatically add responses to comments as comments under the same post - the problem is that comments have a feature "ask by email" still experimental, limitation on the number of characters and not yet active here, will add documentation on this soon.the response may need to be truncated.

Respond by As Benoit said - people might be giving comment-like answers and the overall quality of the content may become worse, also people may be giving duplicate answers if they post without looking at what is at the site already.

Probably something like this should be limited at some rep level.

Also, not every type of formatting is allowed in the comments and posts, on the forum you will see immediate feedback on that, but with the email - is it a good idea? - the problem is a high potential for duplicate answers. What do you think?will not.

Not a simple feature - won't be able to start working on this soon. You are welcome to experiment though - just fork the repository and try implement the feature :)
