Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2021-08-05 14:50:36 UTC 
In bug 18532 we add a messaging preference for the auto_renew notice. It would be good to do the same for the regular renewal notice. Right now, patrons get a renewal notice if the RenewalSendNotice syspref is on and the patron is signed up for CHECKOUT notices, with RENEWAL just following the CHECKOUT preference. 

That assumption -- that if one wants a CHECKOUT notice one must also want a RENEWAL notice -- is both spurious and largely undocumented.
Comment 1 Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2021-08-05 14:55:15 UTC 
Sorry, I need to walk back a bit of my snark here -- I forgot that we have updated that messaging preference so that it says "Checkout and renewal" in the preference. So at least we're telling people there what it means. But I'd still prefer a separate preference.

I agree it would be nicer to have them as separate options - changing the descriptions was just in shorter reach for the time being.
