Newsletter Module Guide     6/28/2003

 General Info

  • Newsletters may contain any properly formatted HTM
  • You should proably use an HTML editor like Microsoft FrontPage or a shareware/freeeware product to compose your newsletter, and then paste it into Rainbow.
  • Some early version of Rainbow would only allow for small sections of text to be pasted into the edit control, so you may have to paste in pieces.
  • You will only see 250 users at a time.  The newsletter must be sent in multiple batches of 250 users.
  • Only one email can be sent to users in a 24 hour period, so even if you press Send many times only users that have not received a newsletter in the latest 24 hours will be mailed.
  • Invalid email addresses are automatically blacklisted.
