Many thanks to the several folks who were kind enough to respond directly.

These notices are grouped together & emailed to the administrator
address (KohaAdminEmailAddress setting under System Preferences).
Simple macros in Word & Excel can be used to create a mail merge
document so these notices can be mailed out.

Bounced messages come back to the Administrator, or can be set to come
to specific email addresses at the circulating branch in question
(addresses for the branches are set under under Administration -
Libraries and Groups).

Finally, the text of the Overdue notices is set under Tools > Notices.
Rules for sending the Notices are set under Tools > Overdue notice/
status triggers.

Thanks to all again!
