So the feature sends out one email per watchlist edit? If so, I can imagine a few users finding themselves with hundreds of emails before they next checked their mail and saw any opportunity to switch it off. Could a site banner be put up just to let users know it's there, perhaps with a link to a page of explanation about what it does and how to switch it on? Sounds better to me than risking potential surprise email barrages.
