would be useful: maybe based on an update to their user talk page more recent than their most recent visit to that page.
That's not a bad idea either; I perfer actual email for direct communication, but user talk pages are there, and are being used for that There's already a link to your user page at the top of the page (at least in the standard skin; I don't remember about CB); perhaps we should have a flag next to it with a link that only appears when there have been changes to your user talk since you last visited it.
I think this would be a neat feature. Particularly for users preferring the meta for discussions, without reliable email, or uninterested in Wikipedia-L.
