Can't Turn off Create Account Emails

Can I selectively turn off 'Create Account Emails' and leave 'Order Confirmation Emails' turned on? Or do I only have the option to either 'Send' or 'Not Send' emails globally?
Thanks

Re: Can't Turn off Create Account Emails

Could you just not enter an email address in the Create Account field(s) in Admin - Configuration - Email Options?

Re: Can't Turn off Create Account Emails

Thanks Steve, I could easily be wrong, but I think the default behavior is to still send an email to the New Customer - not entering an email in the 'Send Copy of Create Account Emails' would just mean that I didn't get a copy. I don't see an option to prevent the New Customer from receiving notification - without turning off Send E-Mails globally.

Re: Can't Turn off Create Account Emails

Oh, I see.You don't want the customer to get the email either.

Is this a case of your creating customers yourself? Otherwise, why wouldn't you want the customer to receive the email?

Re: Can't Turn off Create Account Emails

yes, this is an evolution of an attempt to use the cart as a site for a third party (sales rep) to register and complete transactions for their clients. So, I don't want the 'buyer' to be notified of the creation of the new account.

Re: Can't Turn off Create Account Emails

Did you ever figure this out? I would like to turn off the customer getting the create account email but I would still like to get them. Did you ever figure this out?

Re: Can't Turn off Create Account Emails

I dont think there is a setting to turn it off, but if you go to /includes/modules/create_account.php

and on around line 408 you'll see:

// send welcome email
zen_mail($name, $email_address, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $email_text, STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'welcome');

just comment it out like:

// send welcome email
// zen_mail($name, $email_address, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $email_text, STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'welcome');

Then upload it to your server and you should be good to go.
