How to get updates to your watch list?
HI,
If I have questions I have answered on my watch list waiting for more info from the asker is, it possible to get email updates when the asker has replied with more info?
That would save me having to keep checking my watch list.

Thanks Ariana.
You do make some good points and I agree that an email should be optional.

That'd be an interesting feature, but no, sorry, there is no way to enable e-mail notifications when people add additional information to their questions. You could try putting that on the Suggestion Board, though: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=answers
The only problem I see with that is that people often use additional details to 'chat' with other people, rant, etc. which is NOT the purpose of that feature at all. I wouldn't want to get an e-mail notification saying that someone directed a useless comment to me, for example. If you decide to suggest e-mail notifications for additional information, you could try mentioning that it should be an optional feature that people can choose in their preferences, similar to how people can choose to enable e-mail or not.
