How could I set PMs in my DC Inbox to auto- forward to my email address?

How could I set PMs (Private Messages) s in my DC Inbox to auto-forward my email address?
I have searched the site looking for help on this, but have found nothing relevant yet.
Can the user set preferences somehow to auto-forward PMs to their email address?
(Thanks in advance.)
lanux128:
is this what you're loooking for?
IainB:
@lanux128: Ah, no, I don't think that will do it - but many thanks anyway. :(
I had already set the Notifications ON for when PMs went to my Inbox, and that is working OK.
What I wanted was for the full content of the PM to be forwarded to my email address, so that I didn't have to go and use the blasted DC Forum's proprietary and constipated Inbox thingy to read the PM - I hate using it. (Same goes for the Inboxes in Facebook and LinkedIn.)
IainB:
No, wait - I am mistaken.
I had not spotted that until just checking it now: The full text of the PM seems to be copied into the Notification that is sent to the user's email address.
I had mistakenly thought that it truncated the content of the PM, but I now realise that is not the case.
I am making mistakes because I am tired.
Must go to bed.
Thanks! :Thmbsup:

Fwiw, mine is set to Always (that seems to be the DC default for Personal Message options) and I get the full text of the PM in my email. I see it worked for you now, cool. I'm glad I went there because I noticed the "Save a copy of each Personal Message in my outbox by default" option, which I just checked.
