I like the browser cookie / ?notify=[off|on] option, and would probably use it.

Would these work in a local configuration file?

   ##  Enable notification for non-administrators only.
   If (! CondAuth('$pagename, 'admin')) $EnableNotify = 1;

   ##  Enable notification, exept if the user is logged in as "dcooke".
   If (! $AuthId == 'dcooke') $EnableNotify = 1;

   ##  Enable notificatin for every IP address except 127.0.1 .
   If (! $_SERVER['REMOTE_IP'] == '127.0.0.1' ]) $EnableNotify = 1;
