I noticed that redirection to a menu item stopped working in v J3.7.4 and seblod v 3.12.2 and it seems to stop the email too... (but not quite sure on that)
Content is redirection to a content view of the current item, not menu item.Menu item setting is a setting that tells redirect which Itemid to use on this redirect.
And both stopped working after an upgrade... Only my config message appears, NOT the content view and while the menu itemID appears to show state (ie hightlighted), it's clearly the home page content below the config msg.
