How can I manage a list of "Email-Only Newsletter" recipients?

Right now, all you get for tracking your newsletter recipients is a simple check box called "Send Newsletter". Currently, there's no built-in way to specify newsletter preferences. This is a commonly requested feature. Here's a way you can manage a list of "Email-Only Newsletter" recipients using TntMPD's current features:

1. Create a Saved Group called "Email-Only Newsletter".

2. For the contacts that prefer to receive your newsletter by email only, check the box under the "Groups" tab (back to the Contacts view) to include them in the that group.

3. Continue to use the "Send Newsletter" check box for those that wish to receive your newsletter (irregardless of HOW they like to receive it).

4. When you are sending out your newsletter by email, perform this lookup:

Lookup | Newsletter Recipients | With Valid Preferred Email
Lookup | By Group.
      > Select the "Email-Only Newsletter" group.
      > Click on "Lookup within the current group".
      > Click "OK".

5. When you are sending out your newsletter by paper, perform this lookup:

Lookup | Newsletter Recipients | With Deliverable Mailing Address
Lookup | By Group
     > Select the "Email-Only Newsletter" group.
     > Click on "Take away from the current group".
     > Click "OK".

----

After step 4 and after step 5 you may want to save the lookup as a favorite, so that you can easily recall it more quickly in the future.
