Hello Paul, If I am not wrong, the DUEDGST (and DUE) is used when you set advanced notices to 0 day, otherwise it's PREDUEDGST (and PREDUE). To loop on items, you should use the <item> tag. The default messaging preferences will only affect new patrons. But you can use misc/maintenance/borrowers-force-messaging-defaults to update existing ones. Could you please open a new bug [1] and detail how you recreate the duplicated notification?

We are running Koha version 3.16.03 and it was installed from: http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/. Linux library 3.2.0. Apache version 2.2.22. Here is what I have for my HTML template (with the HTML message box checked)
Dear <<borrowers.firstname>> <<borrowers.surname>>,<br> <br> <br> The following item(s) are now due:<br><br> <ul> ---- <li><<biblio.title>> <<biblio.seriestitle>> by <<biblio.author>> <<items.barcode>> Date Due: <<issues.date_due>></li> ---- </ul>
<br> <br> <i>Thank you for visiting <<branches.branchname>>.</i>
I was told that I need to use --- but also told that I need to use <item></item>. I am wondering if displaying a list of items will even work since the default template is: You have <<count>> items due
Also, when I change the default messaging preferences for a patron category will Koha change all the students in this category?
Thanks, Paul

Hi,
Can you share your Koha, Linux version, and install method?

I am trying to get email notification working correctly. I have check-in and checkout notices working fine. I even get a list of items when a patron checks in/out multiple items. The problems I have are I get duplicate messages for overdue items. The date and time is the same for both emails going out. The other problem is that when the DUEDGST notice goes out it does not show details of the items that are due. I am looking at the patron category where this is happening and I have the Advance notice set to 2 days and have Digests only checked. The only other options I have set are checkout check-in.
