I started out with message mods and there's a fairly easy solution to this one. If you change the end dates in the existing messages_en file it will mean that you can receive the message at the start of every patrol. That means that you can get:
Defensive action against French Shipping sent from 3/9/1939 to 24/9/1939
Passenger shipping is now an eligible target sent from 4/9/1939 to 24/9/1939
Small passenger ships are eligiblefrom 24/9/1939 to 27/10/1939
etc.
It also means that a quick press of the 'M' key will give you instant access to the relevant rules, and if the mod is created in a SH3 Commander format it will be compatible with all mods/supermods.
I reckon it'll take a couple of hours if anyone's interested...
