Andrew, I don't understand what you're trying to say here. The auto-renew
notices will be queued up when the renewal is processed. I don't see any other
logical way of handling the notices. Are you meaning you want to change the
timing of the renewals (and thus the notices associated with them)? 

If so, my patch allows you to use the "No Renewal Before" rule in Circulation
and Fines Rules to specify that no renewal can happen until N days before the
due date. 

My local public library (which doesn't use Koha) seems to have set "4 days
before the due date", which means that if there are no restrictions on the
item, it will autorenew 4 days before the due date and it will promptly send me
an email notification to indicate this.

I can't really see any other logical way of it working?
