Update of /cvsroot/koha/koha/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/default/en/help/admin
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv9468/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/default/en/help/admin

Added Files:
	letter.tmpl 
Log Message:
Introducing new "Letters" system : Letters will be used everytime you want to sent something to someone (through mail or paper). For example, sending a mail for overdues use letter that you can put as parameters. Sending a mail to a borrower when a suggestion is validated uses a letter too.
the letter table contains 3 fields :
* code => the code of the letter
* name => the complete name of the letter
* content => the complete text. It's a TEXT field type, so has no limits.

My next goal now is to work on point 2-I "serial issue alert"
With this feature, in serials, a user can subscribe the "issue alert". For every issue arrived/missing, a mail is sent to all subscribers of this list. The mail warns the user that the issue is arrive or missing. Will be in head.
(see mail on koha-devel, 2005/04/07)

The "serial issue alert" will be the 1st to use this letter system that probably needs some tweaking ;-)

Once it will be stabilised default letters (in any languages) could be added during installer to help the library begin with this new feature.
