[Koha] overdue notice text

Does "no longer getting overdue notices" mean they are not arriving in 
your mailbox or aren't they even created in table "message queue"?

As far as I know both of your versions are correct, they will just 
result in a different output - the first will use four lines for every 
item while the second will use only one (thus it is usually preferred).

Note that you have "Due date: <<issues.date_due>>" twice in your 
statement. I don't think this should be a problem but probably you don't 
really want to output that two times.

Hope this helps.
