Jetpack Newsletter: Issue with email frequency changes and Subscribe block

[Ninodevo]

Impacted plugin

Jetpack

Quick summary

When a user has default notifications set to "Never Send Email," the user remains in a pending subscription state when they subscribe to a blog, which causes issues with the Subscribe block. It does not show the user as subscribed.

If the user is in a pending subscription state when they click on the Subscribe button, they receive a success message, but the button does not change to "subscribed," which does not seem like good UX. Additionally, no email is sent to the user, so the user is not aware of what is happening.

The same thing happens if the user is subscribed to a site and disables the "Email me new posts" setting for that site. They are put in the pending state and the above issue happens again.

There is also an issue on the pending subscriptions page https://wordpress.com/reader/subscriptions/pending. The site is displaying the .wordpress.com subdomain instead of the main site domain.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a site on https://jurassic.ninja/
2. Connect Jetpack
3. Enable Newsletters on /wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack#newsletter
4. Add the Jetpack Subscribe block to a page
5. Go to https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/subscriptions and set "Default email delivery" to "Never send email"
6. Use the Subscribe block
7. You will get the Success Message, but the Subscribe button will remain the same (will not show as subscribed) and you will be set in a pending subscription state
