Maybe a feature in a future release?
Most servers have a formmailer. In the setup you could set the path and name of the formmailer and the email address it gets sent to. Then when the sale goes through you get an instant email so you would know to check PayPal and Google for your orders.
It would help me quite a bit, anyone else?

When you get an order with PayPal or Google Checkout, you already get an instant e-mail on the order. Adding a formmailer would just provide a duplicate e-mail.

My boss requires me to register everything with his email address, PayPal, Google, Yahoo, etc. I'm the one who fills the orders, it would be easier for me if I got an email too instead of having to check multiple email accounts all day long.
It would be more of a timesaver than anything else.

Can you set up either a CC option or, depending on the e-mail client you use, you might be able to set up a filter that will take all e-mail messages from PayPal or Google and either forward them or copy them to you.

The best way to do that is setup a new e-mail address on your own server that is sort of a mailing list and subscribe both you and your boss to it. Then use that with PayPal, Google etc..
