Is it normal for the Target Audience to be displayed as a GUID in email alerts?

Question

On MOSS 2007 SP2, I have an announcement list that had audience targetting enabled. Users have email alerts set on that list for when new items change. The email displays the tartget audience as a guid - is that normal?

I tried to google for the information, but the closest I could find talks about the problem showing up in the version history.

Answer 1

Yes. Global audiences are stored as GUIDs within the audience targeting field, and the default email alert template doesn't do any extra formatting to make it more user-friendly.
