Answer 2

I hacked core code to do this on my Magento install. The 1st level of properly editing core files is to override them in app/code/local somewhere...

Make your admin_order_notify_email template, save it, and note its ID. Mine was 8. Oh, and to get access to the customer's email address, use this code in the template: {{var order.getCustomerEmail()}} . This vexed me for months. :P My next trick will be to barcode the order number in the admin order notification email.

Now, open the file app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order.php

<?
    $mailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template');
    /* @var $mailTemplate Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template */
//chris  near line 854:      $copyTo = $this->_getEmails(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_COPY_TO);
    $copyMethod = Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_COPY_METHOD, $this->getStoreId());
    if ($copyTo && $copyMethod == 'bcc') {
        foreach ($copyTo as $email) {
//chris                $mailTemplate->addBcc($email);
        }
    }

//chris near line 900: added this to use admin email template for new orders. Note it is hard coded to template 8, which I added
        $mailTemplate->setDesignConfig(array('area'=>'frontend', 'store'=>$this->getStoreId()))
            ->sendTransactional(
                8,
                Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_IDENTITY, $this->getStoreId()),
                $this->_getEmails(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_COPY_TO),
                "MyBusinessName Orders",
                array(
                    'order'         => $this,
                    'billing'       => $this->getBillingAddress(),
                    'payment_html'  => $paymentBlock->toHtml(),
                )
            );        
?>

The crm4ecommerce extension is encrypted, and cannot be audited for security.

Another free option is Inchoo Admin Order Notifier.
