everytime i send btc to my customer, i also send email notification of the txid. so now this practice should be avoided because huge chance that txid can be altered? and should we store the txid into our database? if not, how we determine each transaction from our end?

what should we do as merchant/developer to anticipate this malleability issue?

Merchants need a way to record transactions immediately. They can't just wait for several confirmations and search the blockchain for a txid. I think gox's proposal should be adopted.
