erm. apologies, but i don't think chris' question was intended as a challenge. i admit it was a little blunt, but i wouldn't call the reply mean, either; he even justified why he asked the question…
ANYway, yes, the development philosophy is one of control to the users (it's kindof the whole point of growl—you can be notified for what you want, how you want) However, we'd still be interested in your reasons for wanting this feature, if you have any insight to bring to the table on the matter? chris: i'm wondering if perhaps a defaults option to have new tickets disabled by default isn't such a bad idea? eg. use case: I vaguely recall some user(s) posting that they install growl solely for the purposes of using growlmail. They would find such a feature useful as well as this sysadmin use case.
