As discussed with Owen on the IRC, I'm fine with merging the two OPAC message
sections.  That would be much cleaner.

The other question that came up is whether we still need the patron record opac
note field at all.  Our discussion on the IRC:

<owen> In fact I wonder if there is a reason to continue to use the old OPAC
notes mechanism at all

<owen> Maybe we should just do away with that part of it?

<jwagner> owen, when I started looking at the feature, the distinction I saw
between the new messaging feature and the existing circ/opac notes was a
question of "permanent" notes.  This might not be as much of an issue for opac
notes, but it was for circ notes.  There's notes you don't ever want to
overwrite, like "child has parent's permission for X".  So the new feature and
the circ notes are both needed, but I don't know if anyone has an equivalent
need for "permanent" OPAC notes.

<owen> Yeah, I agree. The circ screen would have a need for more permanent
notes

The question for everyone is, does anyone use the existing opac notes field for
any permanent notes, or could it be deleted?
