Answers.Text: This extension looks awesome.  Unfortunately if I make a rule for "pending contribution" and "has recurring..." it works, but then if the contact makes ANY other contribution (membership, event, direct non-recurring donation) during the life cycle of the recurring they get the email all over again because the conditions match.  Am I missing a logical AND that would limit it to only emailing for a new recurring?

Answers.Text: yes, you would also set a condition for the donation type and perhaps also the condition for "first contribution of contact"?

Answers.Text: What if it isn't the first time they've contributed?  Isn't this sort of a miss on the underlying core CiviCRM code?  If someone makes a recurring donations there should be some email recognition of that where the donor is told that future confirmations will come at the time that the transaction is attempted.
  
  I may need to play with the conditions more because I'm having a hard time finding a way to make it work for any recurring contribution, regardless of if a prior contribution was made, and not for unrelated contributions.

Answers.Text: ah i was triggering on a donation, not a "new recurring contribution".  That helped make it unique enough to not trigger errantly.
