Hi,

Still getting the hang of the new version, wow so many new features, thank you Dean!

Regarding this screen, it's great! Now I know what the Quick Save button is useful for

There is one option on this screen that would be really useful, the list numbers (or User Selections) that the emails were sent to.... that way I'd know for sure what was sent to which list, etc...

I'm glad you upgraded! The program has come a fair distance for v1.8x.

I'll make a note about your feature request - the sent message page showing the list or selection - I agree it would be nice. I think the reason I didn't put it in was that there wasn't already a field for it in the database. I added a field for the # of messages, so why didn't I add that one, too? :? Next update.

I had an idea to create quick save "Groups" - a select box to choose custom groups, which might include sent messages to one or more lists or selections, and/or "Confirm", "Welcome", and "Sent" message groups to load these messages. The list of messages would be populated with JavaScript as you change the select box.

What do you think about this one?

Regards

This is overboard as far as I'm concerned, really, ALL I need is a simple list of which list Numbers the Email went to, something (far right column) like Sent to: 1,25,32,34

Gotcha on the sent messages change - I went off-topic and started talking about "Quick Load".

Hi,

Regarding this:

I went off-topic and started talking about "Quick Load".

Well, I can see the power in that, but I don't think it belongs here in the Sent Messages screen.... really, we do need a Quick Load like you mention for other messages, but I would like to see it somewhere on the Follow-Ups screen, perhaps, or on the List Settings screen if it's the standard Confirm, and Welcome messages, what do you think?

I do see the value in a Quick Load (for groups), wow, that would be interesting... but maybe AFTER the message is pulled up in the Send Messsage window? Again, not sure where it fits, would have to see it demoed out, maybe it would work here, but NOT sure how much I would use it, probably very little... as I really just want to do a Quick Load to make a change - please see my other Email on Split Testing and how I see that working as that seems to fit into this too - Have the Links/Messages automatically list the proper link among a GROUP of links, more info at this thread:
