This email was sent because the blog post is very old and there was never an activity item generated for it. So when Luke made an update to the post, the BP Groupblog plugin generated an activity item for it and our group email subscription plugin will send this out to the group.

We can automatically add some logic to block edited posts that do not have a corresponding activity item and are older than, let's say, one month (or one week) from being sent out. What does everyone think?

I'm not sure that a group notification should ever be sent for an edited blog post, honestly. I would lean towards no. Luke, Boone, Laurie -- what do you think?

I agree with Matt - no notification for edited blog posts.

Getting additional notifications for posts could causes confusion, and people likely do not want a notification sent every time they edit.

I agree with Matt - no notification for edited blog posts.

+1.

• A) The activity item for the groupblog post was deleted manually from the group activity stream or did not exist previously because the post is very old (like Luke's example); and
• B) The post creation date for the groupblog post is as recent as one month from the current date (this is the new addition)

A) should rarely occur because the activity item for the groupblog post doesn't get removed without some form of manual intervention and B) helps to prevent old posts that do not have a corresponding activity item from sending an email.
