So, I've been working really really really hard on the new release
Some things I've been tackling recently:
Cleaning up the Mass Add and Verifying these additions
I'm guessing
there's going to be confusion on how to successfully add a whole bunch
of subscribers and making sure the information you give Dada Mail is
in the right format
The least I can do is give as much feedback as
possible
I've tried to make the verification screen nice and orderly
(have you seen it currently?)

The List Searching Capabilities, which were lacking somewhat and
since the subscriber field stuff, wasn't searching the subscriber
fields
That should be fixed
And the results are now Paginated, so
you don't get a bazillion results at a time:

The biggest thing I've done is sadly ('cause it's a big deal), under
the hood - All of Dada Mail's templating stuff, including Mail Merging
is handled by HTML::Template and I've got it so you can use loop,
unless and if blocks
Which is pretty killer
Basically, anything
that's listed here:
http://search cpan org/~samtregar/HTML-Template/Template pm#TUTORIAL
You can do
In the email templates
All of them
All
Of them
Some of
the headers too
Here's what the editing the email messages looks like
currently:

I'll have HTML::Template::Expr support soon as well if you're
devilish
That'll allow you to do something like:
<!-- tmpl if subscriber
favorite_fruit eq "apples" -->
A little bird told me you like Apples!
<!-- /tmpl if -->
Or, whatever
But! Couple this with the partial list sending stuff (Send to those
who only live in Denver, for example) and you have a pretty killer
system for targeting subscribers, which hopefully means less mail
being sent and better responses with the mail you send
Which I think
is a good thing
So, I do have a question on what to do with the, "Send a List
Invitation" Feature
It's currently broken, since I decided to do that
whole, "Only allow people to confirm a subscription via a subscription
confirmation message"
I can basically have the List Invite feature emulate that - no problem
The problem is, you're now not just dealing with an email address
(potentially), you're dealing with a whole bunch of information -
Should the process be similar to adding a subscriber? Go through a
verification process and if the addresses verify, send the invitation
away?
Right now, the process is just plunk some addresses down, which,
"magically" get verified (but you never get any feedback) and you send
out a message to a whole bunch of people
I'm kinda thinking of folding in the, "Send a List Invitation" feature
in with the, "Add, Verify Add, Subscribe" stuff, so instead of,
"Subscribe", you hit a different button that says, "Don't Subscribe -
Invite"
and that may be pretty killer
Any thoughts?
I'm going to try to clean up what I have now and get a new alpha
released for any who want to play
