Answers.Text: @JoeMcLaughlin it works with 4.4, the customer where it is live uses 4.4. As explained in https://github.com/CiviCooP/org.civicoop.civirules/issues/3 we currently have no funding to upgrade it to 4.5/4.6.

  Functionally I am always confused about FYI mail. What is it supposed to do? As a receiver I am not supposed to do anything but I am supposed to read it just in case? I tend to just delete them if I can not identify any action, and I also tend to say so.
  
  I assume you want to send the FYI email to a certain relationship contact (manager or something like that) and you have set up the relations in such a way?
  
  If that is the case you might have a play with the CiviRules extension (read the blog at <https://civicrm.org/blogs/erikhommel/extension-civirules-now-avaible-download-live-showcase-maf-norge> for some background).
