Email and subscribed threads

Just wondering a couple of things....


Since I only used my ATS email for ATS site mail, I am wondering if those whom had the email prior to policy change, still have them and are they active? (I just figured out a real simple way to test this.......mail to myself...du-oh)


Since the subscription to topics email no longer is sent out when posters post....

Is it possible to consider that ONLY the topic originator receive emails when someone replies with a post.

This way a topic originator, would be informed to an active thread of their's, and will be able to support it further if warrented.


Thanks
