[uf-discuss] Watching watchlists properly: the lack of an email setting

[André Luís]

Tiago,

good point. I'd also be interested in getting my watchlist in the mail
(or rss, or something) instead of having to login to check if there
were any changes.

Ben, can you shed some light on this? Is this off by choice? And if so, why?

Thanks in advance,
