Mail sent from dDoc doesn't asynch notify regular shell (or any?) nodes of new mail #219

Usually, when mail arrives from one user, to another, on a Synchronet system, the user will be notified, at the same time that they would receive a message, or telegram, about the new mail. Unfortunately, that is not taking case; when Mail> is sent from dDoc, to a user of the standard shell. Oddly enough this works perfectly in reverse. Is there some sort of function to notify the other recipient of new mail being delivered that I'm not aware of and need to manually call, perhaps?

I think this might be due to dpoast.js utilizing the Mail> sub-board (and writing to it) in the same way that it writes to any other message board. There is a method called bbs.email(), and I'm willing to be that if you send things that way that a notification would be brought up.

                    msg, then you'll have to send the notification message to 
                    the user or node yourself
