Yes, I find them annoying, but i "like" them because they confirm for me that the email was sent out. This way, if someone calls and says "i didn't get the email" i can say, yes you did, etc. Not that i really get to say that but at least i know it got sent - i'm just a doubting thomasina. Actually, there are two other instances where i receive "unwanted" email: 1) when i create a single user account and when i approve users. The latter email notification was implemented at a time when we were having problems with qmail doing its job. Would there be an easy to create a site wide admin page with checkboxes for selecting what mail one wants to receive and not receive, so that site wide admins can configure this on their own?
