How to get notified of posts ?

[Poojitha]

Hi, I am trying to understand the different functionalities in the forums site and was wondering-  is there a way for a user to get notified of posts that he is interested in by email or otherwise. If so how does he choose which posts are of interest to him and how do i enable this functionality. Thanks so much for the replies in advance. Greatly appreciate it.
