Is it possible to set it so that professors will receive all forum posts via email, but that students' subscription is optional? (Although ideally, it would default to subscribing them to the replies on their own posts.)
Also is it possible to set everyone to have email digest subscriptions by default?
I'd like to have forums configured this way, because we use forums for graded assignments, and I'd like professors to get email notifications, just like they do for Assignment module. However, I would like to cut down on the volume of email, particularly for students.
We use forums for graded assignments, since it's the only efficient way we know of to have assignments that other students can see and respond to. (Workshop module is too complicated.)
