subscribe link in the OPAC

When you're in the OPAC on the subscription details page there is an option to subscribe via email to updates to the serial. There is no notice template for this and it only seems to show for the first subscription, not any other.  So either this needs to be removed, or we need to fix it to show for all subscriptions and have a notices template for it.

See attached.  And note that the link on the screenshot has the following info in the URL: cgi-bin/koha/opac-alert-subscribe.pl?externalid=2&alerttype=issue&biblionumber=91116

Hi Nicole, 

the notice template is RLIST, but you can use any name, as long as the module is "serials (routing list)". 
The link will show for each subscription with activated patron alert/patron notificaton. 
The table in the database used to store the subscriptions is alerts.
I documented this feature for our libraries in 3.2.2 - I have problems sending emails right now and trying to figure out why. But this used to work and it should work again and not be removed.

Ok, I got the mails working on 3.6.3 - with the caveat that diacricits are broken. Still investigating.

Ok, corrected my email settings and confirm now that serial alert mails work in current master :) Even diacritics are correct.

So each time I receive a serial for the subscription the user is subscribed to, an email is sent out informing that a new issue has arrived.

Nicole, can this bug be closed? Do you need any more information to document this feature?
