Notification of unread OSM messages

[atarom]

Hi, it seems that users who use potlach do not receive the notification of messages to be read in the application?
thanks in advance

That’s correct. Potlatch is an editor and not a client for interacting with every aspect of OSM.

ok, thanks for the quick response
I don't understand code, but if this could be implemented to let the user know he/she has messages to read it would be nice.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Details_of_the_logged-in_user
... <messages> <received count="1" unread="0"/> <sent count="0"/> </messages> ...

It's not something I have planned. osm.org already sends an email to users to alert them that they have a message, Potlatch doesn't need to duplicate that functionality. I wouldn't refuse a pull request to add it, of course.
