Thanks Martin for your questions!

That would be great. I remember finding it hard to make that work but I can't
remember why - please feel free to give it a go!

Perhaps for email type notices we could include something like the
patron-title.inc at the top?

Email type notices were included here because in the case of CLiC, Koha is
being used for libraries where patrons don't have email addresses but still
want to generate notices that Koha defaults to email for.

I can't remember why I did this - maybe to allow for printing multiple at once,
or to include updating the status of the notice, without breaking existing
behaviour.

Really happy for you to squash the scripts.
