Tasty Tidbit Newsletter: Batch Forwarding and Link Functionality Explained

[ChefJWarren]

I just signed up -couldn't resist after reading all the comments the past couple of days- and am trying to send out my newsletter.

Question: You know how you click "forward" then edit before you send... Well, if I have to send mine in batches, can I just click on the one I sent myself and forward that to the remaining batches? So I don't have to re-edit it every time? Will the links all work?

Forwarding should retain the formatting... it gets funky when you copy/paste because some email programs won't retain the coding. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

Thanks for replying!! I didn't go to your site for this question because I thought it was too late to get a quick reply and was relying on some Cheffers being up late! Ha Ha. You are on the ball!

I also signed up for the newsletter thanks again for what you provide for us

Yes you can just go to the one you send yourself with the edits in it and it will forward correctly. I do it all the time. I have to send 3 batches with Hotmail and it works just fine.

I have been on the fence since I started with PC and just subscribed also! I have seen samples of your newsletters and you rock! I can't wait to see the results!

lol there ya go see HO giving you a violation just stirred the pot for more support!

I have to send mine in batches of ten and even then sometimes I have to verify my e-mail before they'll send them out! But, I just sent out February today and it looks great!! I am going to make myself do some calls tonight to try and get some shows, so hopefully they will have opened this and read it first so I can use it to open up talk!! Thanks Joy!!!!!!! I know that there is no way I could ever put together a newsletter that looked so awesome.

LOL, fyi, I am on West coast time and am usually on the computer until about 11 pm... so if you are up late, chances are I am surfing the 'net while watching evening TV

I also get up at 5 am and am at work by 6:30 am, so I get alot of the early morning stuff done too, while I am having my coffee and setting up my day. I just have a hard time keeping up with middle-of-the-day stuff.

When I forward from home ... there is a big blue line down the side that I can't get rid of.

When I try to forward from work, it comes out as an attachment I can't change.

This is with the "sample" version I am working with ... and I am wondering if it is any different should I subscribe.

What is your email? Is it Yahoo? I know they have that blue line in their older version but if you use the "new" version, it is not there...

As far as it coming as an attachment, that might be something you can change in your email settings... most of them allow you to choose "forward as inline" or "forward as attachment" somewhere.

The line on the side on a forward has to do with the indent level - because it's a forward not a "new" message. Some email programs have a "decrease indent" option in the formatting menu. Using that should remove the line.

I had the line problem too. I couldn't figure out how to remove it, but I was able to change the color of it to white so that it appears invisible!

It's the old version of yahoo. I am afraid to switch to the new kind because it was giving me fits checking it from work. We have macs there and it is more complicated, and I shouldn't really be on it there anyway.

And I tried to send that and another one 2 times in a row and Yahoo wouldn't let me so I didn't send it out. I will bite the bullet, switch to the new kind, and then switch back.
