By golly, Axton!  In my test environment adding the Remedy password to
unblank the password caused the email notification that had been missing to
be created!  Of my two group members, I already had one using a nonblank
password and that was the one that WAS being created.

It is still a puzzle in broken production cases when all group members have
blank passwords, some received notifications and some didn't.  It may just
be how this problem behaves, or there is something else involved there, or
there are two issues.

I'll pursue this with Remedy support and let the list know the fix(es).

Thanks so very much for your time responding to my posts!  Have a great
weekend.... Ann Kosch
