Thanks for the reply. The information that I want to add to the monthly reminder is specific to the members of one particular list. While I guess it does not hurt to send it to all lists if I word it correctly, it would be nice to have list specific reminders. Is there a relatively simple way around this or is it hard coded? Perhaps this could be added as a feature for a future release.
