Hi Roberto

It is slated for inclusion in the next release, but that is unlikely to be released until October or so.

It will be a free upgrade to all purchasers in the previous six months.

Nigel,

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.

Hi Ian

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?

Nigel,

Please refer to the prior thread on this topic:

This is something that could really be used.

Hi Ian

Regarding the following:

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).
