I can understand that, I just thought some people were being incredibly rude by not replying, then I thought about who I had sent the emails to and decided to further investigate.
Possibly a disclaimer warning of the unreliability (it may be there already and I missed it)

Chris,
when some one replies with a public message to one of our messages, an e-mail notification gets sent;
this works fine.
when some one replies with an e-mail to one of our messages (using the Email button under the message), those e-mail messages seem not to work at all this week.
I got dozens of the first kind (and I do not recall a single reply message that wasn't signaled also by an e-mail notification); I also got none of the second kind, even when I e-mailed to myself for testing.
I am aware you could be (probably are) using a different sender and different code, but I checked
my filters and my SPAM box, there is nothing wrong here.
Could you please test the functionality again, there must be more to it than just "Email is incredibly unreliable". If you can't find anything wrong at your end, I suggest you use as much as possible the same sender name and the same technology so it either all works or all fails.
If we can't get the Email button to work reliably, I suggest:
- either you provide feedback, so the sender knows it succeeded or failed (assuming failure would be
the exception); I am willing to wait up to 30 seconds for a confirmation or an error notice,
anything is better than this week's results;
- or you just remove the button (when it systematically doesn't work).
Regards

I noticed something similar a few weeks ago. Nick Butler and I tried using the email function to exchange addresses without success even though we both were receiving email notifications to posts.

I've been complaining on this issue already. It works for some and doesn't work for others.
I don't have a spam filter or any such thing and I'll be happy if Chris could look into this and resolve it. I remember people complaining about ignoring their emails* sent via the "email" option here.
*And I ask them "which email"...

The email system is working, but actually ensuring the emails make it to your server after they have left ours is, unfortunately, beyond our control.
I've opened a bug entry to double check everything, but a quick test shows it's working fine for me.
I'm sorry I can't press the 'Fix this Bug' key for you this time 
cheers,

The temptation is to click email instead of reply but I will refrain. I'm happy to assume until I next actually need it.
Thank you

It'd be cool if at the top of each forum you listed the MVPs for that forum. I see all these MVPs but don't know for what...

I wouldn't. There are times when it's nice to be able to tell someone you didn't: like/agree with/approve of his message without necessarily considering it a site-abusive post and wanting it removed.
Even more importantly, it's nice to be able to high-five someone when they have said something brilliant.

Ah I love it, the article writer used CP in the graphic and there is it right in your face. Interestingly my net nazi blocks the china site but not the RU one!
Yes Chris should be given the opportunity to nail these guys, I just wanted to check if the writer had published on multiple sites.

I just modified a post and everything worked fine afterwards.
Hope this means it's fixed.
If so, well done to whoever done it.  ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

This[^] article seems to have been live since at least last April, but it's in the approval queue. Is this a bug or am I missing something about the approval process?

It might have been a caching remant you saw in the approval queue. It's not there now.

I would like to submit an article, in ASM, but I don't know which forum, chapter, area, ... to go to.
I have two ideas in mind, one is a solution for the GLAT trivial question #17, the other is based on permutation.

Sorry for the slow reply
The rule of thumb is to post the article in the correct Topic section. Maybe 'General Programming / Algorithms and Recipes'?

Giving me the empty message list, that is.
Same situation.
1. make post
2. hit edit on post
3. make edit and repost.
4. Change page
No messages!
