Probably because it was deemed as "crap" by the people that reviewed it. You may have received a couple of email notices concerning the crappiness.

Thanks in advance

Chris I don't think the email option is working on messages, you know right of reply. I have used it 3 time with no replies I have since confirmed that no email was sent.

Works for me
Check your spam and/or filters
|
|
|
|

The mail would have been going out from CP so my filters would not be an issue. The recipients get the email notification from the reply being posted on the messageboards but do not get the email sent via the email option on the message.
I will attempt to send an email from the previous message and see if you get it!

I have sent you an email some 2 hours ago, using the Email button under your top message in this thread.
Did you get it?
|
|
|
|
|
Nope, this message only!
I wonder if it is in the current bug list - I have not read it

Email is incredibly unreliable. All I can suggest is you check your spam filters. Sorry!

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'd like to see voting removed from the soapbox, only the ability to mark as abuse.

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.
