yes. in general true... but...
if something goes wrong while the notification is sent to the user, the 
failure notice will remain in the system
until the user removes it manually (see below).

yes. that is the case. Maybe the notification list should allow for one 
click-deletes ...
Currently (well in b-0.21 to be precise) you need to open each list 
entry until you get the checkmark
for deletion. This was a rather bad interface design, hummm... (I may 
say that, since i implemented it)

Maybe it makes sense to get this into a better shape ? Should be my task ;-)

- I hesitate to implement an auto removal of notifications.
- I think, an auto repeat makes sense when email failures occured
- Maybe in addition an administrator button somewhere in the config, that
  allows for "(re-)send all [in state pending | in state error ] - 
notifications"
- Maybe a top level checkmark (delete all) also makes some sense...

any opinions here ?
