DONT send emails after updating order status

I know there is a radio button on the page to not send an email, but because of human error issues, i would like to set it to automatically not send emails when updating order status, any ideas?
Thanks
Jeff

Change the default for the radio button to be the one that doesn't send updates...??? Sorry, if that seemed like an obvious answer, but...

The following comes from ZC 1.5.4, admin/orders.php

Search for (don't have a line number editor available):

<td class="main"><strong><?php echo ENTRY_NOTIFY_CUSTOMER; ?></strong> [<?php echo zen_draw_radio_field('notify', '1', true) . '-' . TEXT_EMAIL . ' ' . zen_draw_radio_field('notify', '0', FALSE) . '-' . TEXT_NOEMAIL . ' ' . zen_draw_radio_field('notify', '-1', FALSE) . '-' . TEXT_HIDE; ?>]   </td>

and change the true to FALSE, and the desired FALSE to true for the item you wish to set as the default..

Realize at least for this whole process, now human error could result in not notifying when it is desired to notify them...

Thank you works like a charm, give the client what the want lol.

Obviously could go a step further and add some sort of configuration switch to control that, but then when they change their mind they won't have someone to tell them, told you so and change it back/to something else. :P

You can also use the Quick Status Update contribution in the plugins area, which does not send email.
