The latter. Lots of messages.
Also because the groupchat was configured to issue a week of backlog when joining in,
so that we can see what was said while we were away.
So when joining, I get a TON of passive popups.

Well, in fact I'm not so sure anymore: I noticed that there is a checkbox
(in Behavior/Events) that says "Exclude non-highlighted messages in groupchats".
That checkbox doesn't seem to be working, otherwise I wouldn't get such
a notification flood. Highlighted means "with my name in the line", right?
Or do I misunderstand what this checkbox is about?
