Body: <p>We'd like to turn off Contributions - Recurring Cancellation Notification, Contributions - Recurring Billing Updates, and Contributions - Recurring Start and End Notification. We don't want the messages to be sent.</p>
  <p>Generally, we update people's billing information from the backend. In this case, we don't want to send confirmation messages automatically. Sometimes we have to cancel a recurring donation and create it again to get the right financial type, etc. and in that case we definitely don't want email notifications going to donors!</p>
  <p>Is there any way to entirely disable all these notifications?</p>

  This is untested but in hook\_civicrm\_alterMailParams you can check `$params['messageTemplateID']` and if it's one you care about set `$params['abortMailSend'] = TRUE`.
