So, I’m going to do this for my sites:

* * *

`js.user.email_messages_level`, which defaults to “Send me an email when someone messages me”, becomes:

> Send me an email when I receive a personal message

This matches the term “personal message” used in the preference to enable / disable personal messages from other members.

* * *

`js.user.email_level.title`, which defaults to “Send me an email when someone quotes me, replies to my post, mentions my @username, or invites me to a topic”, becomes:

> Send me an email for all notifications. This includes posts in watched topics, categories, and tags; and when someone quotes me, replies to my post, or mentions my @username

(We don’t have invites enabled, so I left that out.)

* * *
