Newsletter - Incl. nametag
Hi

When i write a newsletter i can incl. the tag : <%Contact Email%> so the reciver can see, what e-mail iīm sending the newsletter to:

Isīt possible to incl. a nametag to ?

When you sign-up to the maillist, you give both name and e-mail. And they are both to find in the email.db file ? So somehow it should be possible to incl. that tag ?

Will it make any difference, if i make my newsletters in html ?

I am unsure what you are getting at here, but if its email html code you are after try this
Code:
<a href="mailto:<%Contact Email%>"><%Contact Name%></a>

Or something similar

I'm not sure, but in nph-email.pl, you may need to look for this:

Code:
# Otherwise let's personalise the message using our template and mail it away!
%link = &array_to_hash (0, @data);
$msg_mod = &load_template('email', \%link, $message);
$mailer->send ( { to => $data[$db_contact_email], msg => $msg_mod } ) ?


and add this

contact name => $contact_name

right here:

Code:


...email], contact name => $contact_name, msg...
