Here are a few ideas. None of these are my ideas, they are just features that are similar to ones I've used in other online communities.

1. This first one is a user-selectable option that can be set in the profile. When viewing the list of new messages, instead of presenting a simply screen of new messages all in a row, use the same display a search returns. The search display has the advantage of allowing the user to hyperlink right to the thread to see the answer in context of the thread. See what the message is a replying to, etc.

2. Retrieving message addressed to the subscriber. In its simplest form, this allows the user to enter the main page of the forum and see a notification that new messages have been posted to that user. IOW, replies specifically to that subscriber. The user can then retrieve these as a list. FUDforum already has the perfect setup for this in the form of the search display, which has certain advantages over a simple list(as described above).

Along with this, add the option for a user to receive email notification with a link of a message to that user. This is different than subscribing to a topic. When it is turned on, it is automatic and global, and lets the user know when someone replied to him no matter where the reply is.

3. Be able to search/filter by messages to a user, or from a user. Have this displayed using the search result interface.
