Whats up?
When I click on your profile I don't even see an e-mail option. Maybe it's the way the users have their profiles set up.

In Account Settings, the 2nd option is to:
"Hide email address from other members"

It looks like there are 2 configuration options related to emails.
One allows admin to send you email.
The other one hides one's email from other members.
It appears that moderators can send emails if admin are allowed to do so.
As far as I can tell, choosing not to hide one's email address, results in an option to send email next to the option to send a PM.
It appears that the send-email link does not work for members even when it is visible.
We'll have to do some homework to figure this out.
Thanks for the help,
Ivan
