I have been here before but still have the issue. I have four data bases. The Example one I use for testing emails (only three names in it) that have attachments since I cannot preview an email with attractment on the other data bases. I am finding that I also cannot preview adding the message code first name using my non-Example data bases as well. I send the preview and it never gets to my email box. So it appears that I can only preview an email without message codes and without an attachment.
Here is my problem. The message codes are data base specific. So when I go into the message codes for my Regular data base, No. 3 I now have three codes for inserting the first name. I don't n kow which one to use and since I cannot preview these message codes, I am lost. So I took a chance and lost. 200 of my subscribers received a message, Dear !fname. Two of them dropped their subscription.
It seems I have two questions. Is there a way to preview a message code sending a preview email? If not, how to do know what message code to insert in my main data base when three different message codes are found with that data base. If I could experiment, I would try all three but since I cannot and using the Example Data base has different message codes and all I am doing is testing that data. Your help and directions is appreciated. I cannot afford another Dear !fname.
Thank you
