111 These emails are staged in the outgoing message queue, as are messages
112 produced by other features of Koha. This message queue must be
113 processed regularly by the
114 F<misc/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl> program.
116 In the event that the C<-n> flag is passed to this program, no emails
117 are sent. Instead, messages are sent on standard output from this
120 Notices can contain variables enclosed in double angle brackets like
121 E<lt>E<lt>thisE<gt>E<gt>. Those variables will be replaced with values
122 specific to the soon expiring members.
123 Available variables are:
127 =item E<lt>E<lt>borrowers.*E<gt>E<gt>
129 any field from the borrowers table
131 =item E<lt>E<lt>branches.*E<gt>E<gt>
