There’s an earlier request for a similar feature here: [Please don't autosubscribe me to summary emails](https://meta.discourse.org/t/please-dont-autosubscribe-me-to-summary-emails/127718)

It’s something we are open to giving people more control over when they create their account and we’ve discussed some possible designs, but we haven’t had a chance to go any further than that yet.
