I have used several methods over the years. First lesson learned the hard way .. using tags with strings.... what a mess when they get tangled on each other. Stickers can come off too easily ... and some people will pull the switching of tags.
I now make a tag on my computer that I punch two holes in the top just under 1/2 inch apart and safety pin the tag through the two holes in the tag. They stay flat ..and more secure .
As for getting e- mails you have to do this while in the message thread .. At the top of the first post there is a drop down menu called Thread tools , you can turn on the notifications Via the subscribe feature.
