from the 3.2.0beta0 changelog:

* Fixed encoding of email subject header in bin/BackupPC_sendEmail as
  suggested by Jean-Claude Repetto.  Also changed $Conf{EMailHeaders}
  charset to utf-8.  Also changed bin/BackupPC_sendEmail to not send
  any per-client email if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.

... and 3.1.0beta0:

* Changed BackupPC_sendEmail so that summary admin email doesn't
  include errors from hosts that have $Conf{BackupsDisable} set.
  Reported by James Kyle.  Also, per-user email is now disabled
  when $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.

The configuration setting BackupsDisable seems to have appeared in 3.0.0. See
the default configuration file for a description of the possible values and
their meaning.

So, if you actually want these, you need to keep $Conf{FullPeriod} = -1,
otherwise you should be able to completely switch them off with
$Conf{BackupsDisable}.
