Bug Description

After subscribing or ubsubscribing to mailing lists via +editemails, the notification message on the next page is:

"Your auto-subscribe policy has been updated"

even though I didn't change the auto-subscribe options on that page.

The notification message should be intelligent enough to figure out what the user changed. Perhaps a range of messages could be used, such as:

"Your mailing list subscriptions have been updated"

or

"Your auto-subscribe policy has been updated"

or

"Your mailing list subscriptions and auto-subscribe policy have been updated"

Upon further investigation here, the issue is that it's very easy to click the wrong button on +editemails, which results in your settings not being saved.
