Build support for message preferences for multi-tenant structures where you may have global preferences plus per tenant preferences. Initial thought for approaching this problem would be a settings value where you can define a method that receives the User and/or Message Preferences object and appends any multi-tenant specific preferences... when we do this we'll need to probably allow for groups of groups in the preferences structure, possibly by just using dot-notation on keh naming so that it's backwards compatible? Not sure yet on this.

Further thoughts on this are in multi-tenancy situations there will/should probably be objects that associate a shared user to a particular tenant (eg organization, project, etc) so if there are segmented inbox needs for that then we should probably make it where the inbox <-> user and pref <-> user connection is configurable to inbox <-> user-tenant (ie profile) and pref <-> pref <-> user-tenant <-> user instead.

This would still allow pulling all inbox messages and prefs for a user across all tenants. This seems like a better approach and probably a lot more flexible.

Primary purpose would be to make it easier to update the templates for the subject/title/body of the messages, secondarily it would allow us to have revisioned message templates so that we could denormalize storing the content for every message for every user and instead store the message once and just store their merge data in the user message table.
