When does `email time window mins` begin for a post that is approved after moderation?

Is it the time it is approved?

Or the time it was originally submitted?

I have a feeling it’s the latter. Sometimes I’ve wanted to edit a post _after_ moderation, so the edit history is public, but I think the email maybe goes out straight away.
