1: No vacation mode for notifications?

It appears that notifications does not support a vacation mode to temporarily suspend notifications until a certain date.

It appears that the users table already has a column for this "no_alerts_until", but I don't see that the notifications query check this before scheduling email.

I hesitate to touch the query because it was recentely improved and I don't want to slow it down with a join to the users table.

Should we add this in?

There used to be a special view on the users table of users who could be emailed. This view would excluded users that were deleted, on vacation, or whose email bounced.

That seemed like a fairly good way to deal with this.
