** Description changed:

  At the moment, if you set your activity preferences to email or digest email
  then you can receive email alerts from any notes or messages posted in
  Mahara but you can only access and read them in your email.  Once back
  inside Mahara, you can't access that message.  Which means you can't reply
  to the message (there is no link inside the email alert to go to the
  'space' where the actual message in Mahara lives either).  It is very
  inconvenient.  And if you do NOT choose email or digest in Mahara activity
  preferences, then you have to visit Mahara several times a day to see if
  you have any alerts.
  
  The second aspect of this is to do with forum messaging.  If I have email
  alert on for forums, i get an email and I *can* find the post inside
  Mahara when I visit it.  But I suspect new users don't have this turned on
  at all and that is why discussions are not really happening....
