RE: overdue notices

Here's a elegant hack for an inelegant solution.
Change the @ to 2 ## as in jmann##gcpl. This is an old usenet trick to
keep from getting your email harvested by spammers.
This will cause the email to fail and be moved to the print queue, but
will also provide a something searchable if you need to create a list
and restore the email.
You can also delete the email and comment out the phone number which
forces the notice to the print queue.

The only thing I can think of is to delete the email address from the
patron record.  If you want to email it some of the time but not all of
the time, you could change it back and forth from an email field to a
note field.  Not a very elegant solution.

I was wondering what other libraries did when you have a notice that you
don't want to email.  I can move them all to the print queue, and then
not mail the one that I don't want to go, but then all those notices
turn into print notices.  Has anyone figured out how to work around
this?

Thanks-
