Thank you for the response Jeremy! Your solution seems the most
graceful and efficient. However it looks like I may be doing something
wrong... :-(
Here is the modification...
...
class Environment(models.Model):
short_name = models.CharField("Short Name", maxlength=8, blank=False,
unique=True)
full_name = models.CharField("Fully Qualified Domain Name",
maxlength=64, blank=False, unique=True)
status = models.CharField(maxlength=1, choices=STATUS_CHOICES,
radio_admin=True, blank=False)
lastupdated = models.DateTimeField(_('action time'), auto_now=True)
oktoadd = models.BooleanField("Ok to add new clients", default=False)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.short_name
def save():
super(Environment, self).save()
send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message.',
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]', ['[EMAIL PROTECTED]'])
class Admin:
...
And I'm getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

in save
110. new_object.save()
TypeError at /admin/envwork/environment/12/

Any thoughts?
Thank you again,
