Are users suppose to get emails for a 'notification'?

Here’s some older stuff about this:

Confusing wording for email notification settings

Could be like the following: Send me an email when someone quotes me, replies to my post, mentions my @username , or invites me to a topic, and also regarding categories and topics I’m watching. Maybe the text is a bit too long, but I think it is clear about what it does.

Please better describe the relationship between emails and notifications

I’ve added “, and also regarding categories and topics I’m watching.” to the standard text in the screenshot above. This isn’t perfect either, for instance it doesn’t mention watching tags. There are some topics about the email and notification confusion and I think there are some suggestions for improvement there.
