Add "join" option and invite message to comm invite emails

Title:
Add "join" option and invite message to comm invite emails

Area:
Communities

Summary:
The email notification you receive when someone invites you to join a comm should have an option in it that allows you to join it. It should also contain a short, optional message if it doesn't already.

Description:
A friend sent me an invite to join an RP comm we were discussing on XMPP, and I looked all over the email for a link to accept the invitation but I didn't see one! There was an option to subscribe, but not to join.

Maybe this was because it didn't have open membership? The link "Manage your invitations" took me to a page where I could click "Accept," but it was kind of confusing and involved radio buttons and things. I actually first clicked "Subscribe to [this community]," then ended up clicking "Join" from there and submitting a request that way instead of accepting the invite.

The workflow should be that I can click on "Accept" from the email, and ideally would have some of the information I'd need to make that decision too. Like a quick note that says "Hey, we'd like you to join our RP comm!" if there isn't an option to send one alone with the invite already. Then once I click Accept, I'm a part of the comm without needing approval, and am taken to a page where I can choose to subscribe to it also.

Set age restriction when posting by email

Title:
Set age restriction when posting by email

Area:
entries, posting by email

Summary:
There should be a way to set the age restriction when posting by email.

Description:
You can choose almost as many settings when posting by email (http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/emailpost?mode=help&type=headers) as when posting through the update page, except for age restriction level, which defaults to the journal default.

Sometimes, though, you may wish to post about something not work safe while your journal is set to "No age restricted", or conversely post about something innocuous while your journal is set to "18+".

There should be an additional header for the age restriction level such as:
post-age: all
post-age: nsfw
post-age: 18+
