Mark invoice as sent without sending
When creating an invoice sometimes you do not have a customer email address but need to set an invoice as sent to show against the account. At present you have to "send" the invoice or go back into it to mark it as sent. I think it would be a great option to have an additional button to "Save & Mark Sent".
Also when using the API if the send parameter is set to true it should mark the invoice as sent when there is no email address set for the client.

This would be incredibly helpful! I would suggest that the invoice status for active to be "Open". Then any use of the red button upon saving, whether it is simply "Save and Share", "Save and Print", "Save and Send" or "Save and Send Later" will indicate the invoice as open and be on books. If the invoice is sent it can also be indicated by an extra icon or color indicating that the invoice is not only open but also has been sent.
Should an invoice need to be created but not show up on the books yet, that is what the "Save as Draft" is used for. This update would be so much appreciated by many!
