Email notices of DU inbox messages?

Going through the DU4 account options, there is no ability to get email notifications about new DU inbox messages. Am I misremembering this option from DU3? (Misremembering is probable.)

I believe it’s possible for a user to write a script on their computer that saves your login cookie to grab the front page, and then parse the output to see if Inbox (0) isn’t zero. This is for techies, and most people couldn’t run it (it would run in a terminal)

All things take coding and experimentation. That’s the easy part. The hard part is support.

You might email the request to EarlG (@democraticunderground.com).
