Version 1.7.7. It appears the preview of the digest for a user shows topics the user should not have access to. I have read a few threads and it appears the digest should respect permissions. It may be a problem with the preview, but how do I verify what was sent and that this is not a bug with what actually gets sent out?

1.7.7 is very old. You need to upgrade.

Looks like this may not be a bug, just a confusing interface. If you just type the name of the user and select the preview, it shows all the topics. If you start typing the username and then select the user from the “intellesense”, then you will actually see the preview that is sent to the user. Wheh…some confusion and missed heartbeats over this one.
