--- Comment #18 from Luke Welling <[email protected]> ---
Attempting to address this would take significant work and depending on the
exact timing and user settings its behaviour could be very mysterious to users.

With a similar degree of effort to that taken to write the code in hooks to
detect if a notification should be fired we could write mirrored logic for each
one to detect situations where a notification should be unfired.  

Depending on timing and user settings, a user may already have been emailed the
notification or may already have viewed it in the web ui.  Having it disappear
from the list after it's been seen would be mysterious and confusing.

Having the unread counter decrement would also be mysterious.

Given that it cannot be relied on to behave in a consistent, clean way I don't
think the significant effort needed to build it and add it to future
notification types is worthwhile.
