Confirmed. The OCB default setting of email_notification_send does not
work for very common email scenario's. As my earlier posting in this
thread indicates, I'm very emotional about the way that EDI mails were
sent out in OpenERP 6.1 but I think the OBC default defeats the purpose
of trying to get a sane email flow in 7.0. For what it's worth, it does
seem to me that OpenERP 7.0 refrains from sending out automatic emails,
and the distinction between messages and notes on the chatter gives the
appropriate control over whether something is mailed out.

So I'm sorry Daniel if this kneejerk initiative by me and Camp2camp in
OCB caused you and other people any pain. It did help me sleep at night
but I guess that was not worth it.

As for opt_out, the code that mentions this field does not seem to
support your conclusions but with the whole debate on deviations in OCB
it does look to me like a good candidate to have in a community module.

Title:
  Partner settings should default to opt-out for email messages

Bug description:
  OpenERP basically has two kinds of email mechanisms:

  - Automatic emails
  - Mass mails

  Usability wise, the automatic emails should not be send by default.
  Therefore, the 'notification_email_send' setting should default to
  'none'.

  Legally, mass mails can not be send without explicit permission from
  the recipient (at least in NL). Therefore, the 'opt_out' setting
  should default to True.
