The email notifications are by individual discussions, not by a message subject within a discussion. As I said, you will only get an email notification for the first unread message posted in the discussion where you requested email notifications. After you have logged in and read that message, you will get an email notification for the next new message.
 
Let's say a new message is posted after you have read all the messages in the discussion. You will get an email notification for that message. But let's say you do not log in and read that message right away and then ten more new messages are posted before you get there. You will not receive notifications for each of those since you've not yet read the first one about which you were notified. So when you get to the discussion, you will have had one email notification about the first of the eleven new messages waiting for you. (And again, this is regardless of subject line, it applies to all new messages in the discussion.)
 
Is that clearer? The bottom line is that it may appear to be intermittent, but there is a method and a reason for it, honest! Understanding how it works is the best way to make it work for you instead of just confusing you.

That was my point Jeffy.To see the Optima as a a soft ride,you must be driving a Corvette.Comprende my friend ? In other words the Vette rides so hard that almost anything else sems soft.

Never been a a Corvette.
 
My anti-optima-ism is not really about the ride, it is the handling. But overly "supple" (to use CR's term, whom I quoted merely to back-up my own impressions) rides and undesireable (to me) handling characteristics generally seem to go together in this class of cars.
 
I drive a Mazda6 and while the ride is certainly firmer than an optima, I would not call it uncomfortable or hard and certainly not harsh. The handling is so much tighter and more responsive, than the rental optima that I had to be very careful to keep my car under control when I drove my Mazda home from the airport. "Oh, I turn the wheel just a little and the car changes direction instead of continuing in a straight line" .
 
What did you drive before the Optima?
