I agree with Nicolas (#11) - sending emails by default from an ERP
system is a bad idea.

Title:
  EDI Auto-email should not be active by default

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Hello,

  3 emails actions are created when we install the modules sale / account / purchase :
  Auto-email confirmed sale orders [1]
  Auto-email confirmed invoices [2]
  Auto-email confirmed purchase orders [3]

  These actions are configured to send a mail to the partners (unless if
  they have the "opt-out" on) with the document with the EDI system.

  I think that it is quite debatable to activate this by default. 
  In my opinion, this should be set off by default, and afterwards it should be the responsibility of the integrator or user to active this feature or not, because it can have serious effects on the customer base.

  But above all, noupdate="1" must be set on the xml! If you deactivate
  the actions server manually, because you (absolutely) do not want
  those mails to be send to your customers, next time you update your
  modules, the server actions will be reactivated ! (and mails will be
  sent before you see it.)

  The question is not on the quality or goodness of this EDI feature,
  but that's about the control of the mail outputs.

  Thanks for your understanding on this topic.
