As part of the new notifications platform, we have enabled email alerts today for when someone replies to your comment or on a thread you are following.
If you do not want to receive email alerts, you can manage those options here.
Update: We have turned on the ability to unsubscribe from all emails and to turn the feature off, you can find this in the settings control panel linked to above.

<blockquote><a href="#136000"><em>In reply to FalseAgent:</em></a></blockquote><p>Yes, that would be useful. My attempt at turning off email notifications even on a comment-by-comment basis failed. Either it doesn't work or I'm doing it wrong.</p>
