Easier way to change notification preferences for categories en masse

The Mute All setting removes the “muted” box from user preferences. Perhaps add a “normal” box there in its place? Not necessary for standard forums, but with the mute-all, it would be better if we had a settin where we could mark certain categories as normal (excluding them from mute-all) and the users had the option to add them there.

We definitely need this in general, but especially on the NaNoWriMo forums.

I have a script that uses the API that fixed this for me (as @Heather_Dudley already knows) but I can’t really use it to help others because I only have an API key for my own account and due to the way SSO is setup, there’s no way to securly authenticate users to generate User API Keys from my own host except with some really hacky workarounds that cause more problems than they solve.
