Testing Alerts gives wrong output

I have created an alert called: USTA - Kiosk Down Alert

The Email From is : Orion Alert, with email address: AUT_OrionAlert@solarwinds.xxx.com

When I test the alert, and select an appropriate node, I get the following output:

7/16/2012 10:12:17 AM: Initiating test for alert USTA - Kiosk Down Alert.

7/16/2012 10:12:17 AM: Retrieved 2 actions for alert USTA - Kiosk Down Alert.

It looks like someone incorrectly added the Variables in the output. Looking at the wording of the sentence.

It looks like it should be:

7/16/2012 10:12:18 AM: Email 'Email1Headline' from "Orion Alert" <AUT_OrionAlert@solarwinds.xxx.com>' to 'DestinationAddresses' has been successfully handed to the local mail handler for alert USTA - Kiosk Down Alert.

Who thinks that's wrong?
