Actually Profiles.User is not automatically created.  Did you want  
Profiles.User automatically created, or is this only IF the user  
creates a profile?

Yes, there's probably a bunch of ways to accomplish this.

What authentication/sign-up mechanism are you using?

The combination of actions you're requesting are possible but will  
require back-end programming.  Once programmed a link containing  
"action=watchthis&pagename=Site/RecentChanges" could be sent to the  
browser.

the action "watchthis" would trigger a custom function that adds the  
link to Site/RecentChanges to the person's Profiles.User-Watchlist page.

But the user would still need to request that they be emailed by the  
system unless you have a login style that stores user's email  
addresses.  If you do store email addresses, maybe the function could  
check the notify page and make sure the person is listed for  
notifications....?
