Hi Rafael,
I'm kind of lazy to click on the hyperlink to go back to forum to see the reply. Can we just copy the content with the email to save our time and make the watch mail more valuable?
The original hyperlink can be reserved for doing replies.
Do you think so?

Ideas come from laziness.

Oh, I prefer the complete one. Since we can add this feature to PrivateMessage, too. If the email is complete, I'll keep the mail for
reference. If the email is just a notice e-mail, it is supposed to be killed.
I think, it will save time for people on deciding what to reply. If he decide not to reply, he just read the email at his box. If he wants to reply, then he goes back to the forum and do the post here.

If a topic is hot, sending just a new reply notice can become an annoing feature. I'll choose not to receive the notice email.

I'm not sure if sending the complete message in the email is the best, since we had to deal with formating of the message ( bbtags, smilies, signature etc ). Take a look at http://www.jforum.net/jira/browse/JF-173. Is suggests to send snippets in the email.
Of course it's possible to send the complete message.. It is just a matter of develop it and make optional.

Well, this can be configured. I mean, we put options for "Send snippets", "Send complete message", "Just send a notification".
