MailList King V7.0 was released today. V7 is a major upgrade incorporating over 150 changes and improvements.
Here is a list of the top fifteen:
1. More powerful main window with folder tree navigation, viewing and editing of sending tasks and group management
2. Can now automatically send a greeting on a member's Birthday
3. New "ISP Sending Limits" options allow you to easily specify the restrictions imposed by your ISP and let MLK manage your sending speed
4. Improved searching. Easily filter your mailing list by any fields including date fields, send counts, countries, etc
5. Much faster and reliable validation method (checking only the domain against DNS server)
6. New Sending Summary dialog shown on completion of a sending task and offers instant access to common functions (such as view the log)
7. Can now export an Outlook folder of web form messages to CSV (automatically or manually)
8. Can now automatically block addresses with unknown Top-Level Domains
9. A list of email addresses can now be updated in a batch (e.g. by loading the update list from file)
10. Numerous improvements to the Options dialogs to make them less confusing and more easily navigable
11. Many other improvements to the User Interface to make it easier to use, particularly the Message Editor
12. Improved printing of graphs, including printing of the main graph and Print Preview functionality
13. The content of the Help mode can now be changed allowing you to optionally display the discussion forum or support page
14. History can now be filtered by a history type (e.g. all Subscribe failures due to an invalid group)
15. Many improvements to styling, including better support for Vista enhancements

Nigel, I've been happy with MLK and will probably upgrade anyway, but can you tell me whether V7 will let me delete custom fields from the database?
Right now my database contains custom fields I created accidentally when I was trying to figure out how underscores in field names were handled so I would like to be able to delete the unwanted fields without having to recreate the whole database (and therefore lose the history).
Apologies if this is documented in the list of enhancements in V7, but I loked and couldn't find it.

Hi Adrian
No, that is not supported at this time, because later we will move to an improved database structure which will improve custom field management and searching.
If you simply want to delete EVERY custom field of EVERY user, let me know. You can do that quite easily with SQL.

Thanks, yes that would do as a workaround because I could export all the custom field values and then reimport the ones whose values I wanted to preserve.
But how can I use SQL? I thought that required the Business version of MLK. I have Professional which will become Personal when and if I upgrade to V7.

You can do it with the database utility, but firstly let me say that you should BACK UP your database before doing this.
It is very easy to delete an entire database with SQL.
i) Download the Database Utility from http://www.xequte.com/download/dbsys330.exe
ii) Install and Run it.
iii) Select File>new SQL Query
iv) Specify the folder containing your database
v) Type:
UPDATE MLK_MAIN SET CUSTOMFIELDS=NULL
vi) Click Run SQL
