We are using Paypal as our gateway. We sell both hard goods & downloads from our site. In a first for our site, a customer purchased a download product with a Paypal Check payment. When that happens with hard goods, the product is not authorized until the check has passed through Paypal, and all the details are correctly handled by our site & the Paypal gateway.

With the download purchase, it was immediately authorized and a download email was sent, even though the store and Paypal recognize that the payment hasn't passed through. I can tell, because the order record is white instead of blue for those kinds of orders.

Here's the question: is there a setting that will prohibit a download email being sent on downloads using Paypal Check payment until payment is processed? How do I authorize purchases for customers who say their "check is in the mail," after I receive payment?
