Allow reviewers to control when comment notifications are sent
it used to be that you would get an email if someone left a comment in a document with the @ sign and your name. Now it emails people all the time regardless of the @ symbol or not. I want to limit how often someone gets pinged and now it seems like I can't control it. Can we go back to the old way?
There is a way for recipients to suppress emails, but that is not helpful.
If this is the new behavior, please allow reviewers to decide when a notification gets sent to a recipient. Otherwise the recipient is spammed with too many notifications that all look the same.

This is very annoying. As a reviewer I don't want all my draft comments sent until I have finished my reviews.

I too posted this idea elsewhere. This truly is a bug. Can't tease out the urgent vs. the mundane comments. PLEASE shut it DOWN. It was EXCELLENT before when commenter had option for notice by adding the @. WHY would this be changed?
