RE: [hobbit] RECOVERED alerts still sent outside of TIME window

["Hubbard, Greg L" <greg.hubbard (at) eds.com>]

Maybe you need a "RECOVERED=ALWAYS" option for those who want to know
that things that they didn't receive a notification about are now
fixed...  (or NUISANCE=FULL or ...)

I personally prefer the approach you just suggested...

you're right that the recovery-messages are not filtered through the
TIME restrictions. I seem to recall there was a bit of discussion about
this quite some time ago, where some people requested that they be
informed about recoveries, whether they were inside the time-window or
not.

After thinking about this for 5 minutes, I've decided to change the
behaviour so recovery messages are dropped if they happen outside of the
permitted TIME setting. If anyone thinks this is wrong, speak up now.

Henrik
