[Koha] Overdue notices and email

[Paul Dokken]

Hi David,

That's great that you met Brenton.  We are using the account
library at jaars.org in the SMTP server and it just displays library in lower
case as the display name.  In Gmail It has the display name as JAARS
Library but it ignores it.

Thanks for the reply!

Paul
