Do you mean replys on your query or on all post and querys?

In the preferences you have `Notifications` with the sublink `Categories` where you have categories that you are watching. If you remove the categories that you don’t want to be spammed from the e-mail should stop filling up your mail box.

I think they classify everything as notification and then they sending out e-mails if you not are active on the site so you not is missing anything.

I also think the following setting can have a dependency also, as I understand that one is that if you enter a topic and are reading more that 4 minutes you automatic mark to track this topic.
