I clicked “Deactivate Account” for a user, but emails are still being sent related to posts to its `Watched` Categories

This is my hosted on [v1.4.0.beta10 +34](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/5865bd2abbac66e1ef5b475b491a2358a1d9d610)

Good point, since Activate has to do with validating the email, a Deactivated account should behave as if we don’t trust the email.

(well, we trust it enough to send a validation email there, but that’s it)

@techapj can you add this to your list?
