"Viajero Perdido, you have a new message from Viajero Perdido!"

Recently I stumbled across a setting, don't remember where, to get email notifications of Message Center activity.  I turned it on.

 

Now I'm getting notifications when I send messages, but not when I receive them.  It would be more useful the other way around, no?

 

At the bottom of these emails, "Click here to manage your email preferences."  That takes me to a page that isn't the one I mentioned in my first sentence above (I don't think).  And there, "Send me Message Center notifications" is unchecked.  What?

There are two different places to manage notifications for messages if I remember correctly. I believe this is the one that is causing your problem: it's on the actual message center in the gear icon. 

When I click the forward messages to email box I get an email notification when I send a message to someone. It has the same message as your title.

If you click on the down arrow next next to your name to get your settings, there is another message center setting under email preferences: I've always had this clicked and it doesn't send me a notification when I send a message.

Aha!

 

Thanks for the workaround.  I'll try the other way now.
