New Order Email Admin Update order status missing?

In the old version of zencart i (the admin) would receive a mail: NEW ORDER #ORDERID

from that email i could click a link which would send me to the Edit order page (from where i can update the order status)

http://localhost/shop/admin/orders.php?page=1&oID=[ORDERIDHERE]&action=edit

In the new version the admin just receives a copy of the same mail send to the customer.

Is it possible for me to enable the functionality so the admin can easily update the order status just by clicking the edit order link from the email he receives?

If this has been removed from the newer versions, what can i do to add this functionality myself?

Hopefully somebody can send me in the right direction.

That was never a built-in feature of any version of Zen Cart.

You'll need to re-customize the code as you had in the previous version.
