If you used the option "Send out notification according to notification rules (uncheck to avoid spam)" in "Test notifications" for other notification methods than "HTML Email" or "ASCII Email", the processed notification script could crash with a Traceback.

This is caused by missing notification parameters that differ for each notification method.

We now limit the mentioned option to HTML and ASCII Email, as originally intended.

Testing all other notification methods is still possible, but you can only send out HTML and ASCII notifications.
