Subject: Re: Change default for suppressing email notification and/or targeting entries manually 
Thank you for your response. I do not think I posed my questions clearly. Let me try a different way.

If I set the following logbook configuration:

Suppress Email to users = 0

then, every time someone makes a new entry to that logbook, all subscribers get an email, unless
someone checks the "Suppress Email notification" box.

I want to preserve the configuration option. However, I want to invert the default check box, so
that no email is sent to subscribers unless someone takes the extra step to check a box which might
read "Send Email notification".

That would not work for non-admins. I was looking for a non-required
"email to/cc/send to" attribute. Obviously, one can just cut and paste
the entry into your email application.

subscribers, they do NOT want to receive email notification for every
new Elog entry by default.


The admin user can change the email subscriptions to all users in the Config page, so you just have to go through each user. Alternatively, you can stop the elog server, change the password file manually in any editor, and then restart the elog server.

I would also like the option to add additional email addresses on the fly.


You have to change the config file to add new email addresses or you have to add new users.
