A user of mine accidentally used EMAIL POST rather than REPLY a couple times, that's how I discovered this...
1) When someone goes to EMAIL POST and doesn't fill in a recipient's email address, apparently the email bounces back to me (Admin) rather than him -- is there a way it can be bounced back to the member instead so they realize their mistake? Or better yet (feature request) - can that form include a check so that recipient's email address is required and valid?
2) Additionally, the links at the bottom of the email point to showthreaded (rather than showflat) -- I can't seem to find where to change that...?

I'd like to lean towards checking that the email is valid. As for bouncing back, since it doesn't require a valid user account to recieve the post, i think it should bounce back to the user who's trying to send the message.
I think just adding a check to be sure there is an email address entered is a good start. It's a rare occurrence anyway, so I don't mind if it bounces back to Admin...
(Though I still wish all email addresses would be included back into Report Post notices )

well, the user KNOWS they're sending out the message, thus include a statement "your email will be sent with this message for corrispondance or bouncebacks" or something similar. Or include an option that they can send the message with their email or not? I donno, I doubt i'd use this feature lol
