Problem summary

    smtp-server value in 99Local.xml to correct SMTP
       server,so, you can receive task notifications via email)

    Profile and fill in the
       email address where you will get task notifications and check
    the checkbox
       - ??  Send me an email when I have a new task assignment
    -- Now start process - Test Notifications KO - you will see that
    in Task narrative in
       email message the value of the variable is not replaced, you
    will see this
       instead which is wrong: NVP: <#= tw.local.TestStr.NVP.name #>
