It was clear that trimming mechanism came into play and immediate alerts job doesn’t send any email.

Here is a short procedure of creating a custom site theme named "Ghost": 1. Copy any theme folder in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\THEMES" folder and paste with its name replaced with "Ghost".
