I love the new feature to be able to easily unsubscribe from a topic in emails - thanks! For instance on Meta here I subscribe to certain categories and this allows me to quickly stop seeing emails for topics I don’t care for.
That being said two things I noticed:
## Button on mobile
See button misplacement on mobile:
VS correctly on desktop:
## Tapping the link twice
In this situation my topic starts with a `Watching` status. Then when I follow the link it downgrades it to `Normal`. If I follow the link again (from the same email), it downgrades it further to `Muted`. I’m sure this is because if someone receives a notification from a topic they had listed as `Normal` but then wants less notifications, following the link _should_ reduce it down to `Muted`. However if that is the case, I think the verbiage in the email notification would be better suited to say something more along the lines of “ **To reduce the number of** notifications about this particular topic, click here” - since it’s actually just lowering the level of notifications, not completely stopping them.

We’ll fix that mobile bug @zogstrip
As for the extra verbiage, I don’t think the sentence at the bottom of every single email is the best place to educate people about the minute details of the feature.
> To stop receiving notifications about this particular topic, **click here**.
And just to clarify you are correct, the way it works is this:
- If topic notification state is anything higher than Normal, **set to Normal**.
- If topic notification state is Normal, **set to Muted**

Yes, but I think that what @jesselperry is saying is that the action should only be taken once per email.

I’m kind of saying both. I would recommend:
- Change it so a link can only be clicked once per email (although the technical means to do that might not be worth it)
- Rename the wording in the email footer. I don’t think changing text in the footer is too wordy. I just think that “to stop receiving notifications” is not an accurate statement.
But not really a hill to die on. It’s of no huge significance. Just calling out what I noticed.

I want the wording to be a little strong since we’re trying to get people to stop turning off _ALL_ email notifications via the footer, which was their only option in all versions prior to this..
For context here’s the full email footer
> To respond, reply to this email or visit `https://forum.example.com/t/sample-topic-name-goes-here/12345/1` in your browser.
>
> To unsubscribe from these emails, visit your **user preferences**.
>
> To stop receiving notifications about this particular topic, **click here**.
I think I’ll make the link to user preferences a bit smaller too..

Well, since you can change the notification level _directly_ from that page I don’t feel it’s worth taking the time to make it so the link can only be clicked once per email.
