I unchecked "Enable Status Message & Comment Email Notifications" but still received an email after using the quick reply textbox. However, the site does say that changes may take up to 10 minutes to take effect. I

Oh yeah. I despise auto email notifications. I go to the site when I have time to visit the site... usually briefly, several times a day. I don't need the emails. I *can* however see that it would be handy when you're asking a question and hoping for a quick reply, so the all or nothing behavior you're seeing is horrible news.


I'd prefer sites have options like this:


[ ] Email updates to threads I've marked to follow.
[ ] Auto follow threads I started.
[ ] Auto follow threads I reply to.


Users can then customize how they want to be updated. You can follow threads you've started. The reason this isn't "Email updates to threads I started" is to allow you to stop getting updates once a thread has gone 10 pages off topic, of if you started a "Best Of" thread by unfollowing it. A reply doesn't have to mean follow either. You can manually follow threads you haven't participated in. You'll notice follow doesn't necessarily mean email me. You could visit the site and look at threads you're following.
