In Response To: This is what I found ()

Thanks for the report.

Email address of the user wanting to send a blind email are filled IF an email is stored in the cookie. If there is none, then we can't prefill.

Regarding the email field as a required field the thing is a bit complex. Basically it should be possible to send such notifications without providing an email.
Actually there is no good reason to require anything in that field.

However, I admit a check for the RequireEmail setting is missing in current code. I've added the appropriate check and it should become part of the final release as a fix.

On the other hand, even IF no email is provided by the person sending the private note via blind email, then the email is still sent to the correct recipient (poster of message). Only the reply-to address is set to the one configured in settings.pl. That's intentional of course.

Bottomline:
I've added a check for the RequireEmail setting.
However, this setting is totally useless and may cause more confusion in other places. But that's a different topic.

Anyway, thanks for spotting the issue and reporting it here.
Wait for the final and the issue should be solved.
.... and set the ReplyTo address in settings.pl to fit your needs ;)

Thx. again.
