There are different ways users can be set up to receive notifications (messages) in OA.
Users (or groups or teams) can be added to the boxes in the Notifications pane for content in OA. Alternatively, an individual user can click the "subscribe" button for a particular piece of content.
After some fairly thorough testing, it appears that the user-defined "Open Atrium Messages" settings at /user/*/settings are only honored for messages where a user is in the content Notifications box and not for when a user clicks the "subscribe" button for a piece of content.
Is this as designed? Is this a bug that I should report? Has anyone else run into it?
