Hi nrg,
It IS hard to find the answer to this is the FAQ. It's here: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforce
.....but I just cut and pasted the part you need:
"This site lets members send messages ("babblemail") directly to each other using just posting names. The messages are sent as email, but by the server, so the sender doesn't need to know the recipient's (and the recipient doesn't find out the sender's) email address. To give it a try, go to the babblemail form. If you want, test it out by sending a message to yourself. Babblemail is turned off by default. To turn it on, update your registration and check the "accept babblemail" box."
So, if you follow this link:
https://dr-bob.securesites.com/cgi-bin/pb/signup.pl
and scroll down to the Update your registration area, once you enter your posting name and password, on the next screen(s) there will be a place to check a box to turn Babblemail "on."
To try it out, after you've turned the feature on, you might want to send one to yourself, (or, you may certainly send one to me, if you like :-)) To do that, you just open any post of the person you'd like to send to, and you'll see their posting name shows up in the color blue (IF they have Babblemail on) - just click on their name and a new window will open up with a place to type your message.
Let me know if this doesn't answer your question....oh, and to know if you have Babblemails from others here, just check your email account - they will come to whatever email address you provided when you registered.
