  Just to make sure there is no confusion.

  In test mode, and ONLY in test mode, the IDA sendmails do not first call
ruleset 3.  In normal operations ruleset 3 is always called first.  There
is a message printed out in testmode warning you that ruleset 3 is not
automatically called.  Not calling ruleset 3 in testmode is actually a
of benefit when testing other rules.
