Add Snail Mail option to Open Invoice Reminder
The Open Invoice reminder is a fantastic tool to automate sending out overdue invoices. But sometimes the email address on file is wrong, or an old account that isn't checked often. Or sometimes the client just misses or forgets about the email after they open it.
It would be awesome if there was some sort of option in the Open Invoice Reminder to snail mail after a certain amount of emails have gone out, but the invoice is still unpaid.
I was thinking something along the lines of a check box that would automatically snail mail the overdue invoice after X amount of email attempts.

Great Idea. It would be nice to have this, AND to have a 'billing' charge to cover the cost of sending the invoice.
The client would still pay late fees, but would also get an extra fee for the paper invoice/postage so they are paying a bit extra for forcing us to have to mail them an invoice.

I would like to second my opinion that this should be implemented. I have three reminders set up, one for 30 days that is friendly, one at 60 days that is a bit more aggressive, and one at 90 days that is very stern. I would like to trigger a physical mail message with this reminders since sometimes we don't have the best e-mail address for the customer, or they miss it, etc...I think that this could GREATLY reduce the amount of invoices passing the 60 day mark.
