This confused me for a bit. The fact that watching is missing altogether from the email preferences text made me wonder if emails got sent at all for watching notifications.
Currently it says:
“Send me an email when someone quotes me, replies to my post, mentions my @username, or invites me to a topic”
AFAICS it should say:
“Send me an email when someone quotes me, replies to my post, mentions my @username, invites me to a topic, replies to a topic I’m watching, or starts a topic in a category or tag I’m watching.”
Maybe this could be shortened to:
“Send me an email when someone quotes me, replies to me, mentions me, invites me, replies to a topic I’m watching, or starts a topic where I’m watching.”
