Changelog is below - enhancements to Scheduled Mass Mailings and Send a Webpage!

:: Dada Mail Manual revision

The Dada Mail Manual has been revised for the v8 4 0 release The following chapters have been updated, to include up to date information on Dada Mail's new features, like recurring schedules

• Send a Message

• Send a URL

:: Features

:: Recurring Scheduled Mass Mailing Enhancements

Dada Mail supports sending out mass mailings on a specific predetermined date and time, as well as on a recurring schedule; where the start and end date, time, and day may be set

Now, Dada Mail also supports sending the next edition of a recurring scheduled mass mailing only if the content differs from the previously sent out message

This can be useful - consider the following scenario:

You're sending out a web page and this page is only be periodically updated - say it's the index page of a blog You only want to send it out, if there's been new entries posted Using this feature, you would set up your recurring schedule and only when the page is updated will a new edition of the mass mailing be sent out

:: Send a Webpage: Send a Cropped Webpage

Dada Mail now has supports sending only a cropped portion of the webpage's content All you will need to do is specify the HTML tag Dada Mail should look for, when searching for the content The rest of the page will not be included as part of the message

This can be helpful, if the original of the message you would like to send is a full blown page from a website, but you would rather not send the entire page as such a message would not render well as a email message

:: Send a Webpage: PlainText version via URL

Much like fetching the HTML version of your message by URL, you may do the same with the PlainText version as well

:: Tracker Plugin: Tracking the User Agent

Dada Mail's Tracker plugin is useful in collecting a lot of information about activity related to your mass mailings: information like opens, clickthroughs, unsubscribers and bounces and logged and reported using this plugin

Dada Mail now tracks and reports on the user agent (the app used: like your browser or mail client) that's being used to open, and view clickthroughs This feature is currently in a rough form, but a pie chart is now available in the Tracker plugin for each mailing list message you've sent out showing what user agent was being used for both opens and clickthroughs We're investigating the best way to display this information, but thought best to introduce it, as it is In the future,

:: Bounce Handler Plugin: Optimizations

Bounce Handler bogs down if you have a large number of lists, with a large number of subscribers, and a large number of bounces from this list Processing bounces in this setup is fairly intense We've made some modifications to the plugin to handle this scenario in a more optimized way

:: Bugfixes

List Names set the same as List Email sometimes interpreted as an email address in From:, To: headers
