Disabled users still get mail from forum
I noticed if I set a user to "Disabled" in their profile and they had any "watched threads" or "reply notify" threads they still get mail when somebody replies to the thread.

There is a check in subscribe.pl that makes sure the user is in good standing before sending mail. The same check could be used in Write.pm, but the programmer did not include it.

I would not want to send forum post notify emails to a user I banned and disabled from the forum, (and they dont like it either!).
I have added the checks in my copy of Write.pm to prevent the mail to a disabled user and it works.

You could put this in the category of feature request.

The code change was only 2 lines in 2 places in Write.pm, would be happy to share with the forum programmer.
