Not sure if this has been suggested before but I didn't find it in a cursory
search.

It would be nice if you could mass-select the Notify checkbox for all the items
in the edit view of a wanted list, just like you can do with the Move, Delete,
and Query Shops options.

For instance, I uploaded an XML wanted list (omitting the NOTIFY tag) - now I'd
like to change them all to NOT notify without having to select each item's checkbox
individually.

I could be missing a setting that dictates the default value for NOTIFY when
uploading items but this would still be a useful addition I think. Thoughts?

Maybe the default option should be "OFF" and not "ON" for this feature.
It can be very useful (for rare items etc), but I think it is not applicable
for the general build project wanted lists. I felt spammed when I forgot to turn
it off for a common item.

Well, I felt the same when I accidently added a very common part in 'any color'
and due to the site repairs I couldn't delete or change it
10 to 20 e-mails per day

This only works if you are using http://www.bricklink.com/wantedAdd.asp

If upload using XML, those settings get skipped.

Yep, you're right - just tried it. Maybe another fix would be to make that
default setting also apply to parts added via XML?

Although I think the original suggestion still stands - you should be able to
mass change the notify status for a whole list - maybe you're gradually building
a wanted list for some project and don't want notifications until the list is
complete. Once you finalize your wanted list, you could then change ALL the parts'
notification status.
