If you post a new topic, there will be a checkbox that you can check so that when someone adds a message to your
thread, you will get an e-mail. Unfortunately, this feature does not exist for when you reply to an existing topic.
As for getting the content via e-mail, this software does have some sort of facility for e-mailing digests, but none of our bartenders or sheriffs want to do that every day. It's something of a big commitment. And the software won't do it by itself.
