incorrect email filtering
I've gotten reports of too many emails coming into users filtering based on tags. http://answers.ros.org/question/238/correct-settings-for-rosanswers-email

Ok, will look into test cases. Correctness of email alerts so far has been the hardest problem! There are very many combinations of settings to test.

)edit@Benoit, do you have this issue on your site? I know you use the "only selected tags" filter for your users.

The only oddity I have seen is a few times someone has no interesting tags set, but they still get the occasional email.

I have setup my account to onlly email "entire forum" "instant" "only selected tags" and I have 3 tags selected. I'm getting emails with unrelated tags. Out of the 60 questions I've been emailed by askbot a quick read through suggests that 6 of them match my tag queries. Most are completely unreleated.

Signed up like you on answers.ros.org - getting many emails on comments, even though I do not have a single interesting tag. Do you get emails on questions or answers as well?
