We should not give libraries the ability to compromise patron accounts, it is
considered a huge security issue and nobody in network security would ever
recommend allowing passwords to be transmitted in clear text over email.  It
should simply not be possible to send a patron's password in plain text via
email. As such, we should remove this ability from Koha.
