 * I have seen the documentation relating to extending Edit Flow, but I think it
   would be quite practical if there were a few more options out of the box regarding
   notifications. For example,
    - Specifying a different address for general notifications to be sent to.
    - Specifying that notifications should be sent regarding only the actions of
      certain role holders

 * Both of these should be doable with just a little bit of code. Can you outline
   your use case better?

 * Thansk for your responsses this day.
 * For example, as Admin and Editor, I don’t want to be notified of everything I
   do (I just did it!). I would like to know only if a Contributor (or whichever
   group/person I choose) has done something.
 * As well, I would like to be able to set this globally and not on a post-by-post
   basis.

 * Are you using Edit Flow v0.7.1?
 * The current behavior of notifications should be to not email you if you’re making
   the action, but email you with updates to all posts you’re subscribed to. [This was changed in the most recent version](http://editflow.org/2012/04/11/edit-flow-v0-7-1-enhancements-and-bugfixes/).
 * You might also have the ‘Always notify admin’ option checked, and you could probably
   uncheck that.

 * Is it possible to enable the old-style notification behaviour if desired?
 * [I also have the ‘Always notify admin’ option checked and it doesn’t seem to 
   do anything… or should I say I’m not getting any notifications!]

 * > Is it possible to enable the old-style notification behaviour if desired?
 * Yep, the old behavior can be reenabled by adding this filter to your theme’s 
   functions.php:
 * `add_filter( 'ef_notification_email_current_user', '__return_true' );`
 * > [I also have the ‘Always notify admin’ option checked and it doesn’t seem to

 * This works fine for me locally, so it might be problem with your WordPress instance
   or your email provider. You might check your spam folder and/or try setting your
   blog admin address to an alternate email. Keep in mind this is the email address
   under Options -> General, not all admins on the site.

 * Thanks for this Daniel – I had tried the filter above but mistakenly put it in
   a functions file that was only loaded for admin pages, rather than in functions.
   php… Was obviously trying to be too smart for my own good!
