The implementation of hook_messaging has an old/wrong user access string: "access private messages"

This is not available in the latest dev version of privatemsg and thus only user#1 has access to choose this when editing his profile.

I believe the new string should be "read privatemsg".

Fixed in the latest dev? Is the dev OK for production sites?

Umm when logged in as the admin user (uid 1), I have all the choices, including private message, but when viewing trying to subscribe to a user other than myself, i still get the disabled options (have not upgraded to the latest dev)

Yes, once if gets repackaged which may take a few hours. If you can't wait consider using cvs checkouts

> Is the dev OK for production sites?
Nope, that's why it's called 'dev'

Bugs don't get magically fixed in previous versions

So then it's a lose-lose. Can't use an unstable module, and the stable one is broken. Why not just take the stable release, make the fix, and rerelease as a stable?

Could you just tell me what needs to be changed so I can patch myself?
