Forward Inbox messages to Email

There should be an option to forward private messages from the inbox to your external email address. If we can be notified that it's our turn by email, why can't we be notified that we have a message waiting?:

This will help partners set up team games easier.

I feel like this is so obvious and simple, that maybe it already is possible but is not straightforward or obvious enough to set it up. If that's the case, could someone just let me know how to turn it on?

Does that send the actual PM to your email? Or just an email that says, hey, you have a PM? Because, he is looking for the former, not the latter.

Actually he just said notified of a PM. He can then come and read it here. But the whole PM is kinda a cool idea.

I agree, and it can't really be that difficult to do can it?

Having the whole message sent to you was discussed by the phpBB group.. it should be a feature in 3.1.x Ascesus
