Description Christopher Brannon 2026-01-15 23:23:00 UTC
When sending a list or a cart to a patron via email, it is great that we are not limited to existing patrons, but it would also be nice if the email we are sending to would check if the email is going to a matching patron account so the email could be added to their list of notices in their account.  It would also be great if instead of entering an email address, we could search for a patron account and select from any email addresses listed in their account, and then linking to their notices as well.

2 problems here:

* Using the email address to link will only work if there is only one account using this email address.
* Searching for an existing patron account can only work in the staff interface and probably be limited by the visibility settings. In the OPAC this would be a security/data privacy issue.
