Implementing this feature will be a problem based on our current email notifications. Our notifications include a full dump of the issue and it's history. Users sometimes don't login and read this to know what has changed. Hence, if we stop sending them further updates, then they might miss some changes. This recommendation is probably used by forum softwares like phpBB since their notifications only include the fact that an issue has been modified. In this case, it is ok not to generate further notifications. |

A similar problem is a plethora of e-mail notification when a user edits an issue with the following operations (one after another):
I think it would be nice if one could accumulate or summarize those e-mail notifications over a specific period of time, say 5 minutes or so. Since e-mails are not ment to be used for "instant messaging" this kind of delay should be OK. |
