Changing a minor typo in the ticket '''Description''' 1. Adding some entries to the '''Keywords''' field 1. Changing the '''Milestone''', '''Component''', '''Type''', etc ... 1. Adding an attachment, when the attachment was mentioned in the previous message, therefore all users can expect it will be posted to the ticket within minutes and don't need to see another email telling them an attachment was added. Users on my team receive a lot of email from Trac each day, and it is frustrating and Trac becomes less effective when they receive email notifications when someone is just cleaning up or making some minor changes to a ticket. Rather than setting up a lot of options in ''trac.ini'' that determine who and when a subscriber is notified of changes, I propose that a checkbox is added to the right of '''Submit Changes'''. When the '''Don't Notify Subscribers''' checkbox is selected, notifications emails are not sent on a ticket update. [[Image(SubmitChangesButton.png)]] The question then arises, what permission should be required for this checkbox to be present. Perhaps someone running a Trac instance does not want users to be able to change a ticket without, for instance, the ticket's owner receiving a notification. I propose two options for the [notification] section of trac.ini. 1. `optional_notify_authenticated = {true, false}` 1. `optional_notify_anonymous = {true, false}` Option 1 would show/hide the '''Don't Notify Subscribers''' checkbox for authenticated users. Option 2 would show/hide the '''Don't Notify Subscribers''' checkbox for anonymous users. Users with `TICKET_ADMIN` permission would always see the checkbox.
