Issue Summary
I've just noticed that emails to the winning bidder are not being sent. It appears that outbid notices and buy it now messages, along with other emails generated by the system are working, however the mails sent on the cron run to winners are not being sent.
I do know that this was working at one point, but don't know exactly when it stopped -- and it is possible that it has been caused by a different module. I am currently running the April 17 dev version. I'm curious if anyone has a suggestion on what I can look at to troubleshoot, or if anyone can confirm the emails are working/not working for them.
Thanks!

Are you sure that cron is running correctly? Look in at Administer > Reports > Status report and make sure its last listed cron run time is fairly recent.
Also check out Administer > Store administration > Auction settings and make sure you haven't unchecked the "Notify auction winners by email after auction ends" option.

Thanks for the reply. Cron had been running regularly, and the settings were set to send to winners -- and to make it more confusing, the original person pointing out the problem thanked me for fixing it, even though I hadn't made any changes and was having trouble getting an auction notification to be sent to my own address.
I unchecked "Notify auction winners," saved settings, and then rechecked it, and tested with a new auction item. Of course, it worked perfectly!
Thanks again!

Hmm. I wonder if it was just a temporary hiccup with outgoing mail on your server, then.
