We’ve started training users how to mute tags. Muting does hide the tagged topics from the user’s Latest, but it still sends a mailing list email. Is this intended? Here is the message when you mute a tag. It says “new topics”. We’re adding the tags to existing topics. Does that make a difference? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/0/500e2b17eef6d8785da1f6de4dbdcfae956863e3.png) I see the long discussion at [Visibility of topics when Muted from tags](https://meta.discourse.org/t/visibility-of-topics-when-muted-from-tags/95287) but don’t see any mention of mailing list. ---

> [@Mark\_Schmucker](#): > > Muting does hide the tagged topics from the user’s Latest, but it still sends a mailing list email. Is this intended? Muting a _category_ does prevent topics from being emailed to mailing list mode users, so it seems reasonable to expect the same behaviour from muted tags. Currently, muting a tag does not prevent topics with the tag from being sent to mailing list mode users. ---

This was a pretty easy one: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/345764565fbd802094d80b148e6eb0b90794f966](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/345764565fbd802094d80b148e6eb0b90794f966) ---

@eviltrout , thanks for the quick turnaround, but this is not working for me. I’m at latest release +98 commits, which was several hours after this fix. I confirmed a member has a tag muted but an email was still sent. Can you confirm the fix is on master? Anything else I can provide? ---

My version is: ### 2.4.0.beta11 ([b0f4149d6e](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/b0f4149d6eef693760b719227c179f2caf298980)) If I click on the commit id, I get this. ([Commits · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/b0f4149d6eef693760b719227c179f2caf298980))) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/1/11104e6d4f01814b3be43451fa27784d3f047d7d.png) I did the upgrade from the web UI- maybe I need to rebuild from the console? ---

It shouldn’t need a rebuild but it couldn’t hurt to try. It is done in a job and perhaps that job worker was not reset properly? ---

It’s working now. I didn’t rebuild or anything- seems like it took a day to start working. ---
