I am wondering how the info below on 'Mail' may work for Emailer? I see check marks beside the messages I send out which I presumed was to indicate the mailing was successful, although it sometimes doesn't register even though it was sent successfully. Does it in fact indicate encryption?
The other query I have is regarding a signature - IS that an 'attachment' in Emailer? I tried setting it up under signatures in Easy Setup but it doesn't seem to be working - it could be because I am not pressing the right button to make it automatic? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
