## Description

> This plugin requires both bbPress 2.5+ and BuddyPress 2.5+.

Send bbPress forum and topic subscription emails using Buddypress’ email API. Now
you have pretty, customizable, HTML emails for your forums.

Note that BP Emails for BBP sends emails differently than bbPress. bbPress places
every subscriber email in the BCC field, and sends one email. BP Emails for BBP,
asynchronously, sends one email per subscriber. This may help improve email deliverability
if you have forums or topics with a large number of subscribers. Email providers
don’t always look favorably on emails with large BCC fields. At the very least, 
this should improve page load time when posting a new topic or reply.

I love bbPress, but its email feature is very limited. Customizing bbPress emails
is difficult, if not impossible. This plugin make everything so easy and intuitive.
You get the powerful email editing features of BuddyPress now in bbPress emails.
Thank you so much for creating this solution. Our login and reply rate has increased(
because we now have control over the emails people get). Great job!

I tested this plugin and it works just like the BuddyPress emails. Makes it easy
to customize emails across both plugins so that all communication from the site 
is branded.
