Why is it that Koha defaults to printing? Shouldn't the default be no notification, and we have to select which notices are printed, if any? Right now, if a patron doesn't have an e-mail selected as the form of notification, the notice defaults to print. I would like to suggest that a print column be added, and if nothing is checked, nothing is generated. Maybe in the notices tab for the patron a place holder could be made saying that patron opted for no notification, or something like that?
At the moment overdue notices and patron messaging allows to select multiple messaging preferences. And multiple messages will be generated. I think instead of just adding a print column, we might need to define fallbacks? If no email... fall back to text message... fall back to print ... do nothing.

As a patron setting, a general preference, a library preference, or maybe with the patron type settings, where the defaults are set?
It's a good question. I think patron might be too low level... We don't have this kind of configuration on library level yet. Maybe start global and move down later? (no funding here... just thinking loud)
