Introduction

There are a lot of variations in the way that the mailing system can be used.

Two things are required, a message and a list of recipients, and there are two basic approaches that can be taken.

1. You can start with a new message, or reuse an old message, and add the recipients.
2. Or you can start with a list of recipients and opt to send a message to them. e.g. if you go into the events section of webCollect it will show you who is booked on each walk. You can then choose to send a message to everybody on a particular walk.

For simplicity, this guide will concentrate on two specific cases.

Reuse a Previous Message where a standard message, new user welcome, is reused and sent to selected (new) members. This section covers, saving drafts, previewing messages and actually sending messages.

Send to a Mailing List covers sending to a list of members and handling attachments
