**As** a current user
**I want to** be notified about the changes to the way notifications are handled, from individual emails in the past, to in-app notifications and daily email reminders in version 12.0,
**so that** I know where I can find all relevant updates and where I can configure my notification settings.

**Note**

The email visual/Figma uses the newer styling that has not yet been implemented for the other emails.

**Acceptance criteria**

* With the release of 12.0, every active user receives one email notifying them about changes to the notification system.
* Text: see below under "Email text"
* The email contains a link that leads to notification settings. (My  account -> "Email reminders")
