You missed the most important feature request -- The ability to put the
recipients email address in the footer of the message.  Something along the
lines of,

"You are subscribed to this forum as [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That way, when the stupid people on AOL join your list and then turn around
and report email from your list to AOL as spam, you can identify which AOL
user reported the message and remove them.  AOL strips out the recipient's
email when they send you a TOS report.  However, an email address in the
footer is left intact.

If you have ever been blocked from sending email to AOL because of some
boneheads who join your list and then don't have a clue why they receive the
email -- you will appreciate the ability to remove the boneheads before it
gets to the point where your server is blocked.


The best way to implement this feature is by variable substitution.  Such
as,

"You are subscribed to this forum as <recipientemail>"

If you provide a number of variables, such as Firstname, Lastname,
recipientemail, etc...it provides a lot of nice options for personalizing
messages to people on your list.
