I realize you probably don't want to let too much out-of-the-bag prior to release of the new version - but can you elaborate on the 'birthdate' feature. Will it be generic enough to be used as a general reminder feature, such as for account renewals, etc.? Will it automatically remove members from subscription lists pending action? Thanks.
Our intention was simply to have a birthday function where a custom email would be delivered on the birth date specified for each user, because that is the only request we have on file for such a feature.
Couldn't account renewel delivery messages be handled using the existing delayed message feature?

This should also be handled using delayed messages (assigned automatically when the member joins the list).
However we would also like to extend the existing batch scheduled/sending functionality to include an option that the sending task should automatically recur (e.g. every 180 days).
