  • Multipart: The default setting. The user prefers to receive mail in multipart-alternative.
  • Text: The user prefers to receive text-only email
  • HTML: The user prefers to receive HTML only email.

You may want to have your members specify which mail format they prefer when they subscribe to your list. You may then send out specially formatted messages to segments based on this information.

  • When a member contributes a message to the mailing list, they have the option of being notified that the message was delivered and sent out.
  • If a member is sending out an important announcement, they might want to be notified that it went out. By default, this setting is No, meaning that the member does not receive an acknowledgment when posting.
