New Tracker feature: action emails

Tracker has been enhanced to give the option of having an email sent to
you when you are assigned an action. This is particularly helpful when
you miss a meeting and everyone thinks you're the perfect person for the
actions that week. ;)

This is an opt-in feature and is set separately for each instance of
Tracker. To access your setting in the HTML Accessibility Task Force,
find your name in http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/track/users/ and follow
the link. At the bottom of your user page is a heading "Settings"
followed by the option.

If the group thinks it is best, we can change the setting for this
Tracker instance to make action emails sent by default. This would make
it an opt-out process, again set via the procedure above. For the moment
I'll just let people opt in unless it becomes clear we should change
this group to an opt out model.

If you want to customize your setting for multiple groups in which you
participate, you can go to the "My Tracker" page at
http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/users/my. From there is a list of your
user pages in all Tracker instances in which you potentially have
actions. You can set your option in each of those. Again, this is a
per-group setting, not global, so you need to set it separately for each
Tracker instance.
