While unlisted topics don’t get sent out on digest (correct behavior for sure IMO)…

Users with the “Send me an email for every new post (unless I mute the topic or category)” preferences checked get every update to an unlisted topic, even if they have not participated in the topic.

**Repo:**

1. User B has “Send me an email for every new post (unless I mute the topic or category)” setting on
2. User A posts new topic, User B gets email about new topic
3. Admin unlists topic
4. Subsequent posts to topic get sent to User B, even though User B _never participated_ in the topic
