It would be awesome to allow users to set their notification preferences per category. Currently you receive new topics in all categories in your digest, unless you mute them. But if you enable mailing list mode, this changes to every post unless muted. Now people might want to not hear anything about category A, only receive new topics from category B, and follow every new post from category C.  
Adding to this it should be possible to set these notifications to either instant or every X hours/days.  
To crown it all the ability to preset this for new users would be amazing.  
With this added featureset Discourse can match up with mailing lists and the barrier for those many people loving email would be small.
