Thinking out loud... It could simply forward the message to them, but
that might be pretty annoying on the receiving end if a bunch of members
all thought of you. So maybe it should be limited to one such
notification per topic per day to a given member.
I've probably received half a dozen such emails this month, that were
marked as read, despite never being opened. I'd probably answer them, if
there was something that can be easily filtered on (^1).
I've read at least five such emails this month, that I didn't have time
to adequately answer when read, and am unable to find today. :(
The issue being that there is nothing that can be filtered on, that
doesn't have either an unacceptably high "false positive" rate, or an
equally unacceptable "false negative" rate. Granted, the email filtering
tools of 2018 are absolutely primitive, compared to what was available
in 1998.
At present I think you'd have to use an off-list email message to that member.
That might work, if the email is neither a CC nor a BCC. Gmail has a
tendency to delete emails that contain the same Message-ID.
OTOH, for most of my email addresses, if a message precedence isn't
"bulk", "list", or "junk", it gets auto-deleted, and thus, the separate
email would never reach me.
^1: It seems utterly bizarre to me, that email filtering in 1998 could
do more things, more easily, than in 2018.
