Mass Mailing: Save as Draft

Dada Mail now supports saving unfinished messages, called Drafts

In past versions of Dada Mail, it was always awkward to keep an unfinished copy of your message: You would either have to keep a browser window always open with your unfinished message, save your message in a different place (in a text file on your computer), or another awkward solution Thankfully, that's no more

Dada Mail can now save a Draft message right in the, "Send a Message", or "Send a Wepage" screen Messages are also auto-saved automatically every minute, in case your browser window inadvertantly is closed by accident Draft messages will also be saved, whenever you send out a test mass mailing

An unlimited number of draft messages may be saved, viewed, edited - and if you want to start over, you may cancel the message, and delete the draft

All form fields available to you in the, "Send a Message", and "Send a Webpage" screen are saved, when a draft is saved, including message headers, message body, and all the other Options available: Archive Options Partial Mailing List Sending Options, File Attachments, and Testing Options

Mass Mailing: File Attachments

File Attachment uploading is now handled by the included KCFinder web file manager This allows you to easily upload attachments before sending a message out, as well as attach files already uploaded

Attachments can now also be removed from your message easily

Installer
