Have to uncheck about 50 boxes manually just to be notification free. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




Solution:
Add javascript to check all/uncheck all boxes in each column with one click
Add to page header:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
function checkAll(field)
{
for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++)
	field[i].checked = true ;
}

function uncheckAll(field)
{
for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++)
	field[i].checked = false ;
}
//  End -->
</script>
--
on the page add this above each column:

<input type="button" name="CheckAll" value="Check All"
onClick="checkAll(document.myform.emailReporterComments)">
<input type="button" name="UnCheckAll" value="Uncheck All"
onClick="uncheckAll(document.myform.emailReporterComments)">

<input type="button" name="CheckAll" value="Check All"
onClick="checkAll(document.myform.emailOwnerComments)">
<input type="button" name="UnCheckAll" value="Uncheck All"
onClick="uncheckAll(document.myform.emailOwnerComments)">

<input type="button" name="CheckAll" value="Check All"
onClick="checkAll(document.myform.emailQAcontactComments)">
<input type="button" name="UnCheckAll" value="Uncheck All"
onClick="uncheckAll(document.myform.emailQAcontactComments)">

<input type="button" name="CheckAll" value="Check All"
onClick="checkAll(document.myform.emailCClistComments)">
<input type="button" name="UnCheckAll" value="Uncheck All"
onClick="uncheckAll(document.myform.emailCClistComments)">

<input type="button" name="CheckAll" value="Check All"
onClick="checkAll(document.myform.emailVoterComments)">
<input type="button" name="UnCheckAll" value="Uncheck All"
onClick="uncheckAll(document.myform.emailVoterComments)">
---
Change <form method="post" action="userprefs.cgi">
to <form method="post" name="myform" action="userprefs.cgi">
Voila.  
Some java master out there maybe able to combine that to clear all fields with 1
click rather than a per column basis.
