Yes, [edit: by which, I mean, yes, it's the same as the URL scrapper] except when it doesn't have a dialog at all because you can turn that off in the Email Setting page.
Which is when having a default that doesn't update the books is super-annoying, because you won't even catch what happened unless you click 'View Log' at the end and notice a bunch of 'Metadata collected.'
Which I don't even do all the time, or didn't until I figured out what was happening, so who knows how many fanfics I subscribed to, was sent emails for updates, FFF noticed those email, and dutifully 'updated' the fic via...not updating it.
Now I've got the dialog turned back on, so catch it like 80% of the time, and I also check the Log at the end always, so just end up sighing when I forget the default, but can copy the 'Metadata collected.' URLs out of there and paste them in manually. (Or go unread my email, whichever seems easier.)
