On a specific category page, in the top right you can select a watch level for the whole category, the two relevant ones for you will be either “Watching” which will default all new topics in a category to watching or “first post”, which won’t set them to watching, but will email you for *only* the first post in any new topic, unless you set a topic to watching after that.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
One thing to clarify— Changing that setting will only apply to *new* topics in that category. It basically lets you set a category specific default for the notification level of new topics. Once the topic has been created that setting has no effect which allows you to adjust your notification level on a per topic basis after the fact. If for instance you default to watching, but a noisy thread happens you don’t care about, you can just unwatch that particular thread.
