Okay, let's do a test scientifically. Here is what I did and I decided to share it with all of you...

I created a test user account called TEST.

In the TEST account, I set the following:

• Receive Admin Emails = NO
• Receive Private Messages = NO

I created a user group called TESTGROUP and placed TEST into TESTGROUP

--- PM TEST #1 ----------------------------

Then I went into the Private Message Manager, and made the following selections:

• Test PM Only? = NO
• Override "Receive Private Messages = NO" option? = NO

I selected the TESTGROUP usergroup to send to.

Then I selected:

• Include users that have declined admin emails? = NO

Clicked "send" and got the "No Users Matched Your Query" message, just as I should have.

RESULTS: PM TEST #1 Successful. Function operating as it should.

-------------------------------

I went back into the TEST account, and made the following selections:

• Receive Admin Emails = NO (<-- UNCHANGED)
• Receive Private Messages = YES (<-- CHANGED FROM PREVIOUS TEST)

--- PM TEST #2 ----------------------------

Then I went into the Private Message Manager, ran the EXACT SAME TEST AS PM TEST #1 ABOVE,

Clicked "send" and the PM went through.

RESULTS: PM TEST #2 Failed. User account TEST received PM even though TEST account was set to "Receive Admin Emails = NO" and PM TEST 2 option of "Include users that have declined admin emails?" was set to NO.

-------------------------------

To ensure that the "Receive Admin Emails = NO" function was not broken sitewide and to verify that it was only broken in the Private Message Manager, I went back into the TEST account, and verified the following selection:

• Receive Admin Emails = NO (<-- UNCHANGED)

--- E-MAIL TEST ----------------------------

Then I went into the Email Manager, ran the EXACT SAME TEST AS PM TEST #1 ABOVE,

Clicked "send" and got the "No Users Matched Your Query" message, just as I should have.

RESULTS: E-MAIL TEST Successful. Function operating as it should.

-------------------------------

CONCLUSION: "Receive Admin Emails" fucntion does not operate properly in Private Message Manager ONLY

Now, wasn't that fun and educational?

So here are my important questions...

• Has anyone else had the same results by running the same test above?
• Can anyone help me fix this??

If I missed something, please go easy on me. Again, any help is most appreciated!
