Finer control over comment notification.

Title:
Finer control over comment notification.

Area:
Notification.

Summary:
At the moment, I have selected to receive an email when someone comments on my post (or on a comment to my post, etc). While notification of the initial comment is great, I then seem to get another email for every edit. Please, let me make the madness stop.

Description:
I know people do reply from their inbox/email, and they'd want the latest version of the comment in case something significant has changed, so the ability to choose to receive edits is important.

But I always reply from the post page at DW, so I will always have the most recent version there. I don't need 7 emails "fixing a typo" once I know there's a comment.

Can we add an option to send notification only of the original comment, not every subsequent edit?

I don't mind you having this option, so long as I can keep my notifications of every edit.
