Watch a category

[finid]

Individual topics can be watched, but how about if an entire category can be watch too, so that when the email notification system is in place, a person watching a particular category will receive notifications by amail when a new post is made in the category.

I know each category has an RSS feed that users may subscribe to, but I think being able to watch a category and receive email notification on it will be a good addition.

When I finally get around to creating the daily digest email, it'll most likely be a compilation of the "unread" topics at the time of posting. If there aren't any, then I figure there's no reason to email

That should work just as well.

But isn't filtered to one or more categories?
So a watch category could be useful We use that feature at our smf forum (is to be replaced by a NodeBB in the future...)
