4 notices is more than enough!

[DynV]

4 emails for a single topic, is more than enough! How would you like it if I called you 4 times withing 5 days to remind you about something small? Email is my main source of communication, I get much less calls than emails ; it is very personal and, because it's important, I've set it to be intrusive so my emails client plays a loud noise on incoming new emails.

I have received 4 notices to fix a best answer on a thread. because it was done by email, I wanted to forward it along with a demand to fix this but it seem no email is available.

Is there a way to have your mailer sending me notices about choosing a
post as an answer? There's 4 sent up to now, I think 1 would be
sufficient, further reminders (about a topic that an alert have been
sent) should be in a digest sent once in a while.

No post satisfies me as a proper answer and I don't feel it's necessary
to add a reply to say: Very good alternative but it's not an answer. I
just want to let the thread die.

Under "Forum Options" in your profile you should be able to turn off email notifications.

So my only options are ?

1. 
   ■be spammed for best answer
   ■receive no more email from this forum
   ■create a filter to block best answer spam

Again, I don't mind being noticed once for best answer ; the remainder in an occasional digest email.

Because the UK and US server are very similar but not identical you will occassionally get doubled up emails sent by them, you will also get another email a few days later, and a few more after that i believe. Getting 4 in one day seems odd unless you had it telling you every time someone replied to your thread in which case the flag for that gets reset once you look at your thread so you would have 2 emails from that and 2 notifications about needing to select a best answer.
