I might not be the best person to speak in regards to writing detailed text in English, but I have a suggestion:
#+begin_example This contact form will serve as a secondary way to reach you through your email address and for people using only the forums to post or read messages. People who use the mailing lists linked to each forum/subforum will *still see your email address* and (with the limitations of the current forum system) might cite the address *explicitly* in their replies. #+end_example When the forum display name is correctly set up to show as a friendly name, you can change it to: #+begin_example This contact form will serve as a secondary way to reach you through your email address and for people using only the forums to post or read messages. People who use the mailing lists linked to each forum/subforum will still *see your email address* and might cite the address *explicitly* in their messages depending on how their email client is configured to reply and if you have a friendly/display name set for your forum account. #+end_example 2017-11-22T11:21:21+0100 [email protected] wrote: > Hello again. > > As I tried to explain to you, the note about the personal contact form > is not related to this issue, it only refers to whether somebody can > privately write to you through your user page (with an additional > "contact" tab appearing to the right) or not. > > No admin is using this contact form to write to you or to expose your > e-mail address.
