I was not sure where to put this, but we have a super heavily modified version of 1.5.2.
Did that version have the capabilities to send notification emails to a user if someone sent a private message to them?
The messages settings tab seems to indicate that it can do that, but I'm thinking that it was put in there for a future version. I've attached a jpg showing what the messages settings tab looks like.
I know 1.5.4 does... but unfortunately this version is too modified to upgrade.
I hope some of you Moodle "historians" might be able to help me.
Thank you!!!!
It's in the GUI because it's a feature, we don't usually put GUI in for things that don't work.
Email copies were in messaging from the beginning.

WOW!! Thanks.. Now I have to figure out what broke!!!
One more thing.. so I'm clear.. I assume... that when that box is checked, if the person the message is being sent to is not logged in, then they will get an email message that tells them they have a private message on Moodle..
That is what that does, right?
I have a bad habit of interpreting things differently than developers do.
Have the same problem with my wife too!

Greetings, Mark!
In my experience, the message arriving at your designated email address actually includes the entire text of the message on Moodle. At the bottom there is a little note that says "this is a copy of a message sent to you at 'Moodle'". Usually you can reply with your email client directly to the person, or you can log in to Moodle, retrieve the message, and reply with the moodle messenger.

Ok... thanks!!! Well, sort of.. that just means I have a lot of work to do!
Maybe I am getting confused about what you are trying to accomplish, but do you know that messaging is part of the Moodle Summer of Code project list?

Of course that is for versions 1.9 and up, I would assume. You might take a look at that. It might help give you ideas, at least!

In 1.5, it appears that email of messages is enabled by default, but it really isn't
.
Users actually have to open their message prefs and save them before the pref actually gets written, if that doesn't happen the students don't get emailed.
Back in the day, we wrote a SQL script to create this pref for all our users.

Thanks!
that is what I needed to know.
Question though..
There is a patch show on this thread: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=38573
It says to make changes to the lib.php file, but I can't seem to find that file anywhere.. Well, at least in what I would consider the obvious places.

There are many files called "lib.php" in Moodle, but in this case, I think we are talking about "message/lib.php", as mentioned in MDL-4639

Doh!!!
The patch worked perfectly on my personal test server.
All we have to do is test it on the beta server, and we should be set.
Thanks for all your help!!!

See also this patch in 1.8:

So does it mean 1.8 has the problem also? I tested 1.8, and it seemed to work..
