Katrin, and all other interested parties!
We have written the following brief proposal below.  This proposal provides an
option for libraries to allow patrons to select preferences for their overdue
messages.  We are looking to balance the patron's ability to set a preference
with the library's ability to control messaging related to overdues. 

We appreciate everyone's feedback on this proposal:


Add two checkboxes to each transport type in the Overdue Triggers matrix. 
   1.  Enabled:  Will the library send a notice in this transport type?
   2. Mandatory: When checked, this transport is the way that this message is
sent.  (multiple transport types can be selected) Patron preferences will be
ignored in favor of the transport the library has indicated as mandatory.

Add matrix of Overdue Message Preferences in the Patron Message Preference
screen.  The matrix will contain the 3 Overdue messages (odue1,odue2,odue3) and
patrons will be able to indicate their preferences for receiving these
messages.  This matrix will appear on opac and staff side depending on
EnhancedMessage System Preference.

Add an additional System preference to control whether patron can edit the
Overdue messaging preferences.
  If enabled -- Show a BOLD message that they can choose their preferences but
library policies may override their choice (see Mandatory above)
    Patrons will be forced to select at least one transport type.
  If disabled -- Show a read only matrix of the patron's libraries (or default)
transport types that are set in Overdue triggers and a note that other library
policies may override the patron's libraries settings.
