HK,
A couple of questions about critical message. Do students who enroll after the message was sent get the message?
1. No, students who are added to a course after a critical message has been sent do not automatically receive any critical messages sent prior to enrollment by course personnel to existing students.
The Course Coordinator will need to resend the message to any new students added to the course in the time since the message was originally sent.
There is an open enhancement request: "store critical messages to send to late adds", see: http://bugs.loncapa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3453
2. With "send copy to permanent e-mail address" unchecked the recipient could still receive an e-mail notification (including an excerpt of the LON-CAPA message) if the user's preferences had "E-mail notification of LON-CAPA messages" set to either "All" or "Critical only".
If automated enrollment is in use, then e-mail notification is set to "All" when a new LON-CAPA user account is created, if a student being added by auto-enrollment does not already have a user account (and the data available during auto-enrollment includes an e-mail addresses for the student).
Because e-mail notification is a user preference, a student could delete or modify that setting later on, so it can't be relied on, whereas the permanent e-mail address can be relied upon, (because the user does not have rights to change it).

Good morning, A couple of questions about critical message. Do students who enroll after the message was sent get the message? (If not, is there a way to make sure they get it apart for having to resend it.) I presume that if the "send copy to permanent e-mail address" is not checked, then the message only shows up when the student logs in (i.e., the message is not via email.) Thanks, -hk
