Redmine Stealth Plugin

This plugin allows the Redmine administrator to temporarily disable sending email messages when the Redmine content is added or changed, for example, when updating issues or wiki pages. The plugin is intended to allow the administrator to make bulk changes or minor corrections without flooding the inboxes of other users.

Initially, any Redmine user with the corresponding permission could temporarily turn off sending email notifications. This feature has been deliberately disabled in this fork.

The initial author of the plugin is Riley Lynch.

Copmatibility

This plugin si compatible with Redmine 3.x and later. Detailed information here: travis
