Long ago, TuscanyCircle email notification was removed due to numerous bugs. A while ago, it was restored--after being significantly improved--for trusted users. Now, it's being made available to all registered users again. Go to "account", then "my notify settings".

Email notifications are sent out when new posts are published and when new or edited comments are published. The notifications have just the title and a link to the new content.

Email notifications do not scale well as the registered user base grows, meaning notifications can become a resource hog. RSS is preferred because of this. Also, RSS feeds can be customized nine ways to Sunday, whereas email notifications are very much out of users' control. However, as long as the list of users opting for email notification remains a manageable size, I'll keep this handy feature available.
