If Barge-In is used to contact a user with a posted message, the caller's
telephone does not display that message.
Messaging features are not available for data or video extensions, but
can be used by telephones at these workstations.
When an Extension Directory is used to call a co-worker with a posted
message, the posted message is not displayed on the caller's telephone.
When an operator presses the Message Status button on a DSS adjunct,
the LEDs on the DSS reflect only messages left by an operator's using
the Send/Remove Message feature and not messages left by any user
(including an operator) using the Leave Message feature.

In Release 2.0 and later systems, when Do Not Disturb is turned on, the
system automatically posts
Home screen of an MLX display telephone user with Do Not Disturb
turned on and on the screen of any inside display telephone user who
calls that person. The system automatically removes the Do Not Disturb
message when the user turns off the feature. Users at analog multiline,
MLX-5, or MLX-10 nondisplay telephones must program a Posted
Messages button for the system to automatically post or remove the
message when the feature is turned on or off. A user can post or remove
a Do Not Disturb message by pressing a programmed Posted Messages
button. However, this does not turn the Do Not Disturb feature on or off.
Return Call does not work for messages received from a fax machine and
cannot be used to make a call to the fax.
The type of message indicated does not allow a calling group
message-waiting receiver to distinguish between a message left for the
calling group and a fax or personal message.
