Re: Mass mailing - Newsletter - SOLVED
Hi, those, who tried to help me using TB for a Newsletter, thanks. 1) open editor and write a message 2) select whole message and use Utilities | Create a Quick template 3) enter name and description for this Quick template:B ...etc. I seriously tried it, but it's too spartanic for me, every time I will create and send a newsletter doing those technical things, it's not comfortable enough. So I left TB and choose for the easy way; I'm misusing now my mailserver for it; created a mailinglist, configured it a one-way-one and added the members in one run. New members can subscribe themselves through my webpage. (That's to say, my son configured it for me. :-) ) Now I can simply use TB for writing my html newsletters in colours and with pictures and send them to the list. -- Regards, Gunivortus Using The Bat Vs. 4.0.16.1 under Vista Ultimate 32 bit Current beta is 4.0.16.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Dear Gunivortus, -- Samstag, 23. Februar 2008, 07:48:49: Maybe. But it's mainly me, my attitude. I wants things comfortable. Starting a wizard, which sdays: I do also Newslettering and it's so easy. Her we go: Step 1: IMPORTANT: Before you start set Focus to the Account you want to use. Open the Address Book and go to: 'File - Mass Mailing using template - Quick template' Select 'New' Step 2: Fill in the 'Handle' and 'Description' Now come the Macros that is almost the simplest part. (I attache for you one sample and if you need more Macros just press the 'Macro' Button at bottom left) Confirm and Close with 'Ok' Button BTW: look at the 'Options' if you want to have something set. ',- [ Your possible QT for Newsletter ] '| Dear %TOFNAME, '| Dear all, '| %REPLYTO=Your Name [EMAIL PROTECTED]%SUBJECT=[if you have a date in the Subject] %DATE='yyymmdd' '| %LANGUAGE=am%RCPTCONFIRM%READCONFIRM%SINGLERE '| [Here I put any thing important before the actual NL] '| '| %CLIPBOARD [--- VERY IMPORTANT see below] '| '| ---==[ FURTHER NEWS ]- '| Have you '| '| Your Name and Sig '|http://PossibleURI.com `- Step 3: Open an empty 'Edit Mail Message' (F5). Now write what ever you like to have in the the Newsletter including all format. Step 4: Copy the whole Text with 'Ctrl-C' and return to the Address Book and select again: 'File - Mass Mailing using template' Now you should see your QT-Name and Description Select it! Make further Selection as you need (I usually put all in the Outbox fist - just in case) Hit 'Go' (If all is first in the Outbox then go there and process) You are done - Enjoy! :) For me this has always worked fine. As you can see, the %CLIPBOARD Macro is the trick. Every time you have a new Newsletter, just write it in a new Edit Message Window, Ctrl-C then run QT as in 'Step 4'. -- best regards | Using The Bat! 3.95.6 www.EddieCastelli.com | on Windows 2000 5.0 Eddie | Build 2195 Service Pack 4 on Tour | Current beta is 4.0.14.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

And thank for the mail! I learnt some tricks from it! Well that's what this ML is for (or the OT or UDL). Look also at the posting of Marek mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED].

Re: Mass mailing - Newsletter
Hello Gunivortus, GG Never made a quick template, nor any macros. If there's no wizard GG for it to lead me step-by-step through it, I keep my hands off of it. That is sad. You are cheating yourself. Nope. I'll buy a Newsletterprogram with a wizard. :-) Try 'GroupMail' http://www.group-mail.com/asp/common/editions.asp?f=32 I've used the free edition and it's simpler than the mechanics in a spoon. It even has an 'Introduction Wizard' that walks you through everything you need to configure. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Re: Mass mailing - Newsletter
Hello Gunivortus, It's ment for sending everytime the same mail to a group of people... Yes, it is meant to send the same email (e.g. a newsletter) to a group of people. But this doesn't mean that it has to be the *same* email (newsletter) every month. Anyway Gunivortus, this is TBBeta. I personally think you message fits better in TBUDL. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Re: Mass mailing - Newsletter
My small oder Newsletter program doesn't work under Vista well, so I thought, I could easily use TB for it, 'cause in the Help is a 'tutorial' for mass mailings. Wow, that's far to meagre. It's ment for sending everytime the same mail to a group of people, I want once a month sending a new newsletter. Then there's nothing helpfull like some wizard, as f.i. with the creating of a new account. Making new quick templates, making some new group in the addressbook. I'm quite disappointed of TB at this point. I've to seek/buy a much more handsome newsletter program. Maybe a suggestion for the development team to improve this? I do mass mailing. TB is just perfect for that. You make a QT (half a min if you have the text), select the addresses and make the mails. Ca. 2 min or so. -- Vili Current beta is 4.0.14.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Mass mailing - Newsletter
Hi Maggi, GG Never made a quick template, nor any macros. If there's no wizard GG for it to lead me step-by-step through it, I keep my hands off of it. Me, too, but I'd like to learn - maybe Vili and Paul will write a tutorial on TBUDL? :-) Maybe. But it's mainly me, my attitude. I wants things comfortable. Starting a wizard, which sdays: put here the senderaddress, put here this, import here your addresses now, etc. I've lots of such little tools which makes me life comfortable. And I can allow it paying a bit for that. ...grins. I don't need to go to the backery in the morning, he delivers me rolls and croissants early in the morning in a bag on my door; if I wake up later and open the door they're there. :-) That's the life I like. But OK, this might be indeed the wrong place to discuss this, 'cause I don't expect ritlabs will built-in such niche wizards on more places than the first install and vreating new accounts. So EOD. -- Regards, Gunivortus Using The Bat Vs. 4.0.14.5 under Vista Ultimate 32 bit Current beta is 4.0.14.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
