6.6.2. Write the Email in the Editor Just type your message in the editor and use the editing tools just like you do when editing a page.

Different people read emails using different programs so there are some things that may not always look the same for everyone that receives your email. The heading styles you use on pages are not available in this editor because different email programs interpret them differently. To personalise the email you can insert the members First Name, Last Name and Email address anywhere within the email. Next to the Size menu you will see a “Member Details” menu – just click in the text where you want the detail to appear and then choose which detail from the menu. You can click the “Preview” tab to see the email with an example name and email address.

Preview and SEND the Email Above the editor and mail message details, there is a pale green section with a link “Preview/Send Mail Message »” – click this link to preview the message and get ready to send. On the mail preview/send page you can see what the message will look like with the details from the first subscriber on the list – their name etc will be inserted into the email as a live example.

Clicking the “Send Mail Message” button will send the email to each subscriber one at a time – you can watch this process as it flicks through each email address. When the email has been sent the page will show the list of mail messages with a message showing how many emails were sent. The message will show the date sent and number of members sent to. Clicking “Sent Status” will show a complete list of all email addresses showing which were successful and which failed to be sent – failure at this stage usually indicates a mistyped or fake email address missing a critical element like the “@” symbol.

6.6.5. Send a TEST Email It’s often a good idea to send your big newsletter to a test mailing list, including yourself and perhaps a few colleagues at work so you can do final checking before sending it out to all of your customers. To do this, create a new mailing list and only add yourself and a couple of others to this list. Then add your mail message to this list and when you have the message complete, send it. You will then get the message in your inbox and can do a final check. Once you have checked the message you can go back and edit it before resending. Once you have made the changes you can select the real mailing list and send it off to your customers.

6.6.6. EDIT and RESEND an Email Click the “Mail” link next to the mailing list where the sent message is recorded. Click “Edit/Resend” next to the particular message that you would like to change or resend.

The mail editing page looks the same as before except the message at the top is slightly modified so you can see the date you last sent this message.

Use the editor again to make changes to the message and then click the button. In the message details, you can change the To, From and Subject of the email and click the “Update Mail Message Details” button to save these changes. Click the “Send Again »” link in the pale grey section at the top to preview the message before sending it again – the rest of the send process is the same as before. On the send message page, check the “Clear existing Sent Message list?” checkbox just above the Send Mail Message button to ensure that the email goes to all users on your mailing list (otherwise anyone on your test list would be ignore on the resend).
