    Question Member Contact Via Email

    How can I limit "Contact Seller" in Classifieds to PM, only?

    The only thing I could find is My Ads:Ad:Product Optionsisable Email Updates, but that ain't this; and there is nothing in Edit Ad or in the initial ad creation form to do so.

    Settings:My Settings:My Account:General Settings:Receive Email from Other Members is unchecked, but the Classifieds' "Contact Seller" defaults to email. This is an issue of privacy and security, because the email message contains my private email address, rather than my SRP user name or a "mock" email address. Granted, the one who is contacting me doesn't receive a copy of the email message, but unless that person chooses to include his SRP user name, all I can do is reply to the contact email via email, which exposes my private email address. The other alternative is to not reply to their contact (which seems counter-productive, given the purpose of posting an ad in the SRP Classifieds).

    I don't believe that anonymity is really productive, in this instance.

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.
