Use $username in the SUBJECT field of email to members?

[jeremycs]

In the message body, I can use:

Baker011,

please keep us updated and let us know what you ultimately do to fix the problem. We are having the same problem on a 3.5.x installation right now.

Aha! I've just confirmed that crons have not been executed since us changing servers (but they have executed since the last footer modification that was made).... so it has something to do with the server...

(the PM's actually were being delivered, but the status isn't updating)




So here's a thought....

Since basic on-demand emails from the VB system work (ie...

All other emails seem to be working... so the logs that I have look ok.


We're using 3.5.x right now (and upgrading to 3.6.x isn't an option for us yet) so we don't have the option...

Messages can be sent... they go into the sent folder...

Whew. That's easier said than done. For our next major upgrade, I think we'll be updating to the 3.6.x branch after another release or two.
