You're right, I don't like that your mail client sends me private email for 
every forum reply you make to me. This is NOTHING to do with NNTP or the forum 
software. It's YOUR mail client.

There's nothing I nor anyone here can do about your mail client.

The D forum software has nothing to do with how you configure YOUR email client.

Note that you can use DFeed itself to interact with the newsgroup. You don't 
have to install anything to do that.
