History of NewslettersPackage

{maketoc}
The package __Newsletters__ is based on [phpmailer.sourceforge.net/|phpmailer] and lets you send out e-mails to your registered users or to any list of subscribers. __The features are:__

* create as many newsletters as you want
* compose editions (e-mails ) for each newsletter
* format: HTML
* visitors or registered users can subscribe
* double opt-in (optional)
* ''unsubscribe''-link inside the mail

!! Advantages

* display newsletter editions as content on your site
* mails use your site's CSS for constistent look&feel

!! Notes
* prior to Bitweaver version 2: After composing an edition, when you click __send__, the edition is only queued, but __not sent__. To actually send out a newsletter edition to the subscribers, you have to run the script /newsletters/admin/tend_mail_queue.php either from the command line, or accessing it from your browser.
* The strings used in e-mails might not be translated for each language (e.g. "to unsubscribe, click here"). Further reading: ((TranslationTutorial)).
