Message Alerts Not Alerting (Ideas?)

Anyone use Message Alerts? If so, can you test something for me? I have been trying it out for the last few days and want to make my BB act like a pager. So, I configure the work pager to forward its messages to my BB. Then, I set up an alert in Message Alerts to be really noisy when I receive a message to my BWC account that matches some text that is auto added by skytel.

It does not work. After experimenting, I discovered that the alerts only get executed if a Subject exists in the email. Basically, skytel forwards the messages with no subject. I confirmed this by sending test emails to my BWC account with the text that skytel adds. The alert was executed when I included a subject and it did not execute when I left the subject out. I've confirmed this numerous times.

Bug? Similar behavior?

Sounds like you found a bug. Have you forwarded this information to your carrier?

I sent it to the Message Alerts developer support. They have responded to previous emails so hopefully I will hear something soon.

OK, I have similar issue. When my BB 7100t is on silent mode, I still get a beep and vibrate when I recieve IMs. I cant seem to find how to turn it off. Any ideas?
