I've searched and searched but I can't seem to find how to set the notification messages Readers receive so they will ONLY receive excerpts and not the entire article?
Or is there no GLOBAL setting and each user must set their own preference when they "Subscribe"?

Blog admins choose what is sent out for article notifications. From the Admin Control Panel, go to Settings->Article Notifications.
One the left side of the Notifications preference page, you will see the Article Notification Settings which allow you to configure what will be contained in the notification message.
The default is something like this:
Code:
Full article link: <a href="{{permalink_url}}">{{permalink_url}}</a><br><br>
<p>
{{title}}
</p>
<hr align=left width="70%">
<p>
{{body}}
</p>
If you change this to:
Code:
Full article link: <a href="{{permalink_url}}">{{permalink_url}}</a><br><br>
<p>
{{title}}
</p>
<hr align=left width="70%">
<p>
{{excerpt}}
</p>
The excerpt will be sent instead of the full body of the article.
At the bottom of that page, you will see a link to View variables for subject and body which will give you a chart of all the variables you can use in your article notifications.
