Scanned through FAQ, but didn't see an answer.

Is there any way to receive an email notification when someone sends me a private message?
I check the forums often, and have several threads that I am subscribed to.
Often though, I'll get an PM from another user and not notice it for several weeks.
It'd be great to get an email notice that i've been PM'ed.

Possible?

I think by default you get an email when a PM arrives.

I get an email, and I never messed with any settings.

At any rate, the setting is located in:
User Control Panel -> "Edit Options" -> "Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages"
