If a user creates a Wikimedia account and verifies their email address, their preferences are automatically configured to allow direct email from other users.
These emails do not include links in the footer to adjust any preferences. The user may want to disable these emails entirely or to Mute emails from a specific user, if the emails are undesired.

**Acceptance criteria**
* Extend the email footer to include links to configure preferences
** Consider using a new message that is not customizable so local wikis cannot override the links.
* Clicking the links will take the user to a special confirmation page with text to explain what will happen and a button to click to confirm the action.:
** Clicking multiple times should have no effect — these are not toggles on/off,** Rough design: {F28688373} (note that this task is only about adding the first checkbox. they should be links to disable only.second one in T220163})
* The links should be:
** `Disable emails from other users` — which toggles the `Allow other users to email me` to unchecked//Prohibit $USERNAME from emailing me//
* The link takes the user to the special page with the //Mute emails from this user// already checked. The user is added to the mute list once they hit save.
** `Prohibit USERNAME from emailing me` — which adds the originating user to the email Mute list After save, the checkbox and save button go away and a confirmation message displays:// User:ABC has been muted. See all muted users in [Special:Preferences](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences)//. - the link goes to Special:Preferences on the wiki they are on.
