Other Sending Options


Message Editor

Whether clicking the Send button in the send message dialog instantly sends the current message, or displays a drop down list of the three sending options requiring you to select one

When you click Send, MailList King will check to ensure there are no spelling mistakes in your message

The Preview Message dialog will be displayed when you click the Send Message button so you can view the message as it will be displayed to recipients and confirm the delivery

 

Clip Art

MailList King includes a selection of clip art for insertion into your messages. If you would prefer to use your own clip art, select its folder.

 

Stationery

MailList King supports the use of standard HTML stationery such as that used by Outlook and Outlook Express.  By default MailList King will use the stationery folder of these applications to provide access to the stationery that is already on your system.  You can download more stationery from:

www.xequte.com/maillistking/stationery/

Stationery adds extra style and layout to your messages.  You can use the select option to specify the stationery file to use as the default when creating a new message.  You can also create your own stationery or HTML templates and add them to MailList King's stationery list. To do this use an HTML editor to create your file (or save a message in MailList King's message editor as an HTML file) then under File > Options, Sending, Other Sending Settings, Stationery section click the "Select" button and browse for the HTML file you created.

 

Automated Messages

If you have enabled delivery of messages reminding a user of their subscription you can specify how frequenly they should be sent.

Specify how many times MailList King will re-attempt to send an automated message (e.g. Welcome message or Subscribe Acknowledgement) when it fails to send.  Also enter the time delay between send attempts

 

Image Options

Specify the quality of JPEG images when automatic saving is performed. 70% will provide reasonable quality with small file size, whereas 90% provides much better quality

HTML, which is used to display messages, does not support all image formats. MLK can automatically convert non-compatible formats to a compatible one

Images can be very large and tend to slow down delivery of messages. Enabling this option will advise MLK to automatically reduce an image to its display size for faster sending (the reduction will not be apparent to the message reader). You can also do this manually by clicking the "Compress" button on the message sending toolbar

The folder where MLK will save images that are automatically converted or compressed. You optionally choose to copy all images to the folder to prevent problems whereby you delete the original images prior to sending

 

Advanced Sending Options

Controls whether MailList King immediately displays a warning message when an error occurs during sending.  If unchecked warning messages are suppressed and not displayed until the sending task completes

If you insert an image background into your message it may not display correctly on some versions of Outlook. Enable this option so that code is inserted into your message to make it display correcly in Outlook

Whether the field "x-mailer-uid" will be added to sent messages with the Member ID of the recipient.  This makes it easier to determine the actual recipient when the e-mail address is not available

Note: Only applies when sending via SMTP or SMTP server with a single recipient per message

If you are sending via the Amazon SES service, you can choose whether to send via SMTP or API. SMTP is recommended

Specify whether active tasks in your Outbox are sent in the order they were created or in turn

Specify the sending software (XMailer) that is listed in the header of messages sent via SMTP
