That's exactly how it should work (other then left clicking on the person's username instead of right-clicking
). It's possible the person you sent the email to gets mail from the board in their SPAM filter. Your other option is to send a "Private Message" to the other person, which they will receive notification of as soon as they log in to the forum and will avoid issues with email going to a SPAM filter.
Edited to say: Looks like you were emailing someone with a bellsouth.net email extension. I tried a board email to them as well, so we'll see. Also, anyone else using a bellsouth.net email address that we could use for sending a test email?
