Hi,

   You can check the value for a particular user on FND_USER_PREFERENCES.

   Query the table for the user in question and see if he has something setup 
for the mail preference, I dont remember which key it is.

   This table also stores the system default value with a strange key that 
starts with # if I am not mistaken.


Regards,
Luis
