Should Get Out More |

I frequent quite a few forums on all kinds of subjects. Needless to say, I like subscribing to certain threads of special interest.
On one particular forum, they've modified their 'topic reply' notification so that you only receive ONE e'mail. This is a pretty nice feature, especially if a topic gets fairly heated while you're away.
It helps keep my inbox a bit cleaner, and easier to navigate.
Not sure how they do it though. I think they must have some sort of cookie or system built into the site that recognizes whether or not you've visited the subscribed thread, since the last e'mail notification was sent.
So, lets say I subscribe to a topic. Four replies are made, but I get sent one e'mail. When I click the link in the e'mail, which takes me directly to the topic, the forum 'resets' the configuration, and I will receive another e'mail when more replies are made.
Make sense?
Hope you like it, and implement it!
