Hi Leonora,

In the 'my stuff' tab at the page header seek the 'notifications format' link.

In the drop down box for: 'Show text of messages in notifications' select: Yes.

click save.

Hope this helps.

I don't know how to change email notification options like you are suggesting (or even if it's possible), but honestly I never liked this feature that they added (showing content of message in notification email).

The reason?  Sure - it's convenient when you are receiving a PM, however...since a person can see the content of the PM without opening it - you don't know if or when a person has read your PM or not when you send a PM to someone else...ie: they might have seen your message, but you wouldn't know it (because they didn't go to website and open it).

Just my 2 cents worth: I would prefer they get rid of this feature!

+1

If a model can't be bothered to log in to check her messages and the messages continue to show as unread, I assume she's some sort of wannabe who's got the MM account just so she can brag to her friends that she's a model. She gets written off and is not considered for future shoots.

IMO, the hundreds of notifications would be more annoying than the hassle of logging on to MM once a day and just reading the messages. It makes more sense to shut off the notifications completely and just log in to MM. Is it really that much of a hassle?

my stuff > notifications format

Show text of messages in notifications: YES SAVE


This is a very useful feature that lets you check for spam. It also lets you know about tags, pic comments, and friend requests which could be easily missed.

Yes, in your In Box screen you should have a link called Manage Folders

If the message is bolded, it means they have responded and you have not yet opened the message to read it. You're probably asking if there is anyway you can read it and not respond immediately yet later find out (without opening it) if you have responded or not. The answer is no--or rather not to my knowledge anyway. Edit: Although I suppose you could create a folder of read but not yet responded.

The best work around is to respond immediately after reading. Yes, I know that isn't always easy, but it is best.

I'm okay with it, but have been using it for awhile now. At least it is much less damaging than what Microsoft or Adobe does often obliterating years of training to scratch a developer's itch.
