'Discard all messages marked Defer' not working
It doesn't work for subscription requests. It still works fine for posts.
On a page that had one of each the post was discarded but not the subscription request. On a page with just a subscription request nothing at all happens.
Using 2.1.9 on debian.

It just occurred to me that 'messages' != 'administrative requests' which is how I was reading it.
If that is in fact the intent, is there some way it could be made clearer? It certainly makes no sense to have the option when there are no messages to which it would apply though I do recognize the difficulty of programming that.

Yes, it is the intent that it apply only to 'messages'.
Do you have a suggestion as to how to make it more clear?
I agree that it doesn't make sense to offer the option when there are no messages on the page, but as you recognize, this would require an initial extra pass through the requests as the page is currently built sequentially, and the checkbox at the top is created before we know if any of the requests are 'messages'.
