Reported by @cquencer:

When admins have set that attachments are not allowed to create/upload for a usergroup, the users in this usergroup aren't receiving email notifications when subscribed to a topic.
However, when this usergroup is allowed to create/upload attachments then the users in this usergroup are receiving email notifications when subscribed to a topic.

This issue is reported by several users from the NB forum:

http://ninjaforge.com/forum/topic/25644-admin-notify-not-working/29894#p29894

**How to reproduce**

Create/edit a usergroup and set "Attachment" lower than "and Can Create".
Create a new topic and make sure you are subscribed to it (by option in profile or/and by subscription when replying).

**Expected result**

Based on global settings throughout NB when email notifications are enabled, the users of this usergroup should receive email notifications whenever there's a reply. Whether or not creating/uploading attachments are allowed.

**Actual result**

Users within this usergroup aren't receiving email notifications on subscription when they are not allowed to create/upload attachments.

Note: Somehow I've lost track of this issue and therefor it's not ticketed sooner. My apologies!
