There was a thread on commons-l about admins who have email this user disabled. I made a report of all the guilty parties on commons. It was trivial enough to run it again for English Wikipedia, so I did.
I'm somewhat surprised to find my name on that list, since I've gotten email through the "email this user" feature several times before, and haven't changed my email address since then. But sure enough, it seems my address is no longer "confirmed". Does this reset itself requiring me to reconfirm periodically or something?
I think the initiative to ensure that people had secure login passwords (which happened, oh, months back) reset people's email preferences - I had no idea that my preferences had changed until a good while later (not that it matters much in my case, but however...)
