Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

I like this new watch list feature but when does it start working? My league is currently in the preseason.

Also, does the email notification provide a link to the card that I'm watching?

I wish the Watch List on the preferences page linked to the actual player cards so I can remember why I was watching the players. I might have to write a GM script.

There is no link to the player's card. Here is an actual email:
===========
Team: Spring Lynx2
Action: dropped Jeff Nelson
League: 90s Keepers Season 3

You are receiving this email because Jeff Nelson is on your Player Watch List.

I would assume notifications start in preseason, but I can't confirm.
