There are options to suppress e-mail for all kind of status change and nearly all kind of actions you can trigger from page view.php (add notes, close, reopen, .....) Ok, there is at least one kind of action where you also can't suppress the e-mail: add a relationship There is also no way to suppress messages which are triggered by change of custom fields. Furthermore the e-mail notification options would have to be project specific for a clean solution (they are global atm) as custom fields are project sepcific. We would end up in a quite huge list of options if every kind of notification can individually be set to on or off. Having an option like "E-mail on updated" is no solution as end users would not understand which change of an issue is an update and which is not. Maybe a global override option for the user could serve as an interim solution, something like "Disable all e-mail notifications" Seems that the e-mail notification system needs a redesign.
