Although my business really wouldn't need invoice reminders,
seems to me that there may be a reasonably sized list of various
stuff like this.

Having the option for a PDF and/or plain text would be nice.

How about about module to do these things?
Or is LSMB already got enough to just add this in?
A checkbox on the appropriate pages, with really common needs,
and perhaps a custom checkbox for a template each individual could
create for special needs?

A list of stuff like this that people need would be helpful
