- Comments edited by other users (for example, when a subject or priority is changed)
- Comment status (resolved or unresolved)

- Manually - by selecting a relevant command

Structure of and manipulations within an email notification
Body of an email notification always displays the entire thread of an affected comment.
If somebody replied to a comment in the published project you're subscribed to, you get an email notification displaying that comment with all its replies including the new one, but not a single reply.
The bold font distinguishes new, edited, or resolved comments and replies from the rest.
Clicking an arrow 
beside a comment or reply opens the published project and selects that comment or reply in the Comments pane.
The following figure displays the body of an email notification received by the Reviewer 2, after the Author replies to the comment of the Reviewer 2, and the Reviewer 1 comments on the project as well.
