Thanks for the patch, Tony. Before we merge it in, I'd like to discuss
the issue just a little bit more.

1. Are end users complaining about these messages?

2. Is the problem that they're confused by the message, like not sure
whether they still own the page or thinking it's someone else's page
that was shared?

3. Or is the problem just that they receive too many notifications, and
this is one more that they'd rather not get?

If the problem is that they're confused by the message, could we solve
it just by re-wording the message? Currently it reads:

 Subject: New page access
 You have been added to the access list for the page "<page title>" by <page owner>

I can see that this is kind of confusing, because it's a generic message
about page access and doesn't say anything about the group. Perhaps it
would be better if it was like this:

 Subject: Page shared with group
 All members of the group "<group name>" have been granted access to the page "<page title>" by <page owner>

Title:
  Page shared to group: notification to page owner

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  When the page owner shares page with the group, and the group has a
  setting to notify members when new page is shared with the group, the
  page owner receives notification as well. This is not correct, the
  page owner should be excluded from notification list if s/he is a
  member of the group s/he shares the page with.
