Notifications are sent via the notification system, not the alarm system.

No.  The portal view should be a succinct way to look at your  
messages.  The old way was tremendously inefficient and hackish anyway.

But I will compromise some and add recent message information to the  
summary screen, especially since it doesn't take up much space (or  
additional processing) and also fits in with the UI.
