That is why these options only work for offline payment methods like Purchase Order.

I understand that you say this is the 'correct behavior' but correct according to who?
Almost every web site I purchase from does an authorization when placing an order and I get an email notification that the order was received. When the order is shipped I get a shipping notification and the payment is captured.
How can I get the customer an 'order received' notification similar to your offline processing? This is the correct behavior according to most web sites.
When you authorize a payment then that amount is reserved against the customers credit/debit card and you have about 30 days to capture. So your statement implies that until you actually capture the payment there is no order?

I have been working on getting XC5 up since I purchased it just after it was released, When you released fly-out menus I finally had sufficient functionality in XC5 to be able to migrate. I don't have the luxury for waiting another month or two for new features that might or might not enable what I need.
Is there a hook, that I can use, to enable sending email notifications on credit card capture? I really don't want to have to browse through more code than I need to.
