Hi again,
I can't find information on this feature. It seems like it is implemented, but I can't find it.
On the user preferences page it says: *Email (optional): Enables people to contact you through the website without you having to reveal your email address to them, and it can be used to send you a new password if you forget it.
When I click on a user, their corresponding User:Page shows up. Where can I email them using the wiki interface?
Thank you, Graeme.

In the toolbox a bit down on the left (at least in the skin I use) while looking at the User: page, where the "What links here" and "Related changes" are, there's also "User contributions" and "E-mail this user". I've never used it myself, I think, but I would bet that's where to click.
I found in DefaultSettings.php
/** * Set to true to enable user-to-user e-mail. * This can potentially be abused, as it's hard to track. * @global bool $wgEnableUserEmail */ $wgEnableUserEmail = false;
So I will set this to true in LocalSettings.php! Graeme
