I noticed this was on when I received my first Email about a post on my EN wiki talkpage, so it is on and I think we can assume working by default for everyone who has set an email address.

But I think the message was copied from something to do with watchlisting, without fully changing it.

I think we could make it slightly less brusque and more related to talkpages by changing:
