Move general email feature outside of the User's form
The General Email function is currently located inside the form for updating general information in the user record.
If there are any problems with missing mandatory data in the form then the email cannot be used at all.
Since it is unrelated to user general information I would suggest that the Send Message function should be located outside of the user data area perhaps up near the buttons "Toggle Account Type", "Open for Update". (See screenshot)
Additionally, the general mail could perhaps be added to the letters that can be sent from "Manage Patron Services"
I would also support greater flexibility with the general email letter - https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/32546578-make-the-general-mail-feature-more-customizable
Yes we do have a use case for mandatory fields for manual registration, but empty fields in some records coming from SIS load.
