[Xymon] Behavior of RECOVERED in alerts.cfg

I have a question about the RECOVERED flag in alerts.cfg. Here's an example:

PAGE=somepage COLOR=red MAIL somebody at somewhere.com DURATION>7 RECOVERED REPEAT=1h

The behavior I'm seeing is that if a test on PAGE=somepage turns red for less than 7 minutes and then turns green again, we'll get an email for the recovery but not the initial red state. Is this the expected behavior of the RECOVERED flag? Is it possible to configure Xymon to send a recovered notification *only* if there was a corresponding notification that was sent for the initial red state?

Thanks, Ray
