i do this allll the time
My reason is i'm on esato at home and at college. when at college i dont log in (incase i forget to log off) unless i want to post, usually i just browse the forum. if in one of my threads someone has written "PM Sent" i can then log in and check my PM's. Rather than having to login, check PM on the off-chance that i may have one, log out.
hope that made sense

I can confirm that since tonight my Dutch PM warnings have appeared in bright red as well. So thank you for mentioning it, I'm quite pleased. It is a
lot more obvious this way. And thank you laffen for acting on it.
I do use thye 'PM sent' system for ppl checking esato on the go (I myself never log in until I actually post a reply), ppl not being able to stay logged in (html lite users) and also to show that whatever the question/issue at hand, it has been answered/dealt with.
How much fun would 20 PM's containing the same info be? When you're on wap and paying for every single one of them?
It's just one of those things...

I don't do it, but the two reasons I can think of are
1) The other person may not have logged in
2) In FS threads: Back off! It's mine!

I use html lite on my p800, meaning I can't login. A post notifying me of a PM sure helps, seeing especially that I only take the pains to check for new PMs once in a while (on html lite, that is).

some users just browse the threads without logging in.
if they don't login automatically or login at all, they won't get their PM notifications.
