[Koha] Overdue notices

[Wagner, Jane]

There is a syspref AutoEmailPrimaryAddress (under Administration, system
preferences, patrons) which lets you specify which email field should be
used for notices -- email or emailpro.  However, so far as I know, Koha
doesn't have the ability to use both.  I think it would be a useful
enhancement to set it up so that if field A in email priority list is
empty, use address in field B.

Subject: [Koha] Overdue notices

Is it correct to assume that Overdue notices are only sent to Home
email addresses (borrowers.email)?

Some patrons provide both a home & a work email (borrowers.emailpro).

Ideally, the Patron DB would be setup to allow staff to specify the
default email address to be used for notices.

Otherwise, Koha should send notices to any available address (work if
no home address available, & vice versa.)

At present, I believe we would have to copy work addresses into empty
home address fields to ensure that Notices are sent out.

Thank you,
