One default for email update (With a warning that 'You almost certainly don't want to change this to something that won't update your book somehow'....or don't include those particular options on that list.)
But does the email update even have its own separate dialog, or does it just parse the URLs and pass the results into either the Download or Update Existing dialog like the URL scraper does? There might not be a way for FFF to tell that you're trying to update from email once you're in the dialog, at least without a lot of additional programming.
