I can’t enable mailing list mode, when I go back to the settings for email after saving I just see it’s not ticked and I don’t get emails for posts other than what I’m watching.

`User.find_by_username("my-username").user_option.update_columns(mailing_list_mode: true)` works just fine, and this fixes the issue for me.. But I can’t help but think there are others that this affects.

Sure can. I am unable to enable mailing list mode on try, or on my sandbox.
