Hi Katrin,
Thank you for this review of Bugzilla tickets. I can see that I'm not the only
one to think that there's a lack of a notification to welcome our new users. I
thought that it will be simpler to use ACCTDETAILS but it seems that it's more
complicated than I expected.
Perhaps a new notification could be a nice idea.

Hi Sonia,
I think the ACCTDETAILS notice is a bit difficult. Last I checked I think it
required you to enter email, userid and password before saving the patron the
first time in order to work right. As it avoids the message queue there is no
way to tell if the notice was sent correctly and there is no way to send it
again.
There are some bugs filed in this context:
*Bug?9097*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9097> - 'Welcome
mail' for new library users
*Bug?15834*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15834> - Options to
supress e-mail generated by AutoEmailOpacUser
*Bug?18543*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18543> - Automated
emails for new patron accounts with the AutoEmailOpacUser preference
I don't see a reason why password should be mandatory, other than it might lead
to messages being sent out incomplete for libraries using it for this feature.
I think it might be a bit nicer to realize the idea of a separate 'welcome
mail', that goes through the message queue and have an option to send it again
if needed.
Hope that makes sense,
Katrin
