students can't send messages using profile "Send a message" link

This has me puzzled.

When a student clicks on another student's profile and then clicks "Send a message," they get an error:  "Sorry - this is not currently available to you.  More information about this error."

The more information links goes to https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/error/moodle/nopermissions, implying a problem with permissions.

But "Send messages to any usermoodle/site:sendmessage"  is set to Yes for authenticated users and is not blocked for Students.

Admins, Managers, and Teachers can send messages just fine using the "Send a message" link. It's just students that have the problem.

Any ideas?
