We are now scanning through your creative, replacing these invalid characters with characters that will display properly in an email message and as a web page. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 29 at MustangList.com Fri, 01 Jun 2007 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/27 You can now mark a list inactive if you no longer wish to send to the addresses in that list. If you have set up multiple lists, the inactive list cannot be selected so that you do not inadvertently send a mailing to an outdated list. If you decide to use the list again, just mark it as active. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 27 at MustangList.com Thu, 31 May 2007 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/26 We've updated the menu to more closely mirror your workflow while creating, editing, and sending messages. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 26 at MustangList.com Wed, 30 May 2007 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/25 When you log in to Mustang List, we show you the active address counts for all lists associated with your account, and for those lists with categories, the counts within each category. If you are adding addresses in your current session, just return to Admin Home and the counts will be updated and accurate to the second. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 25 at MustangList.com Mon, 21 May 2007 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/24 Mustang List recognizes the advantages of confirmed subscriber lists and has enhanced the support of addresses that have been confirmed prior to their import into Mustang List. If new addresses are not confirmed, the initial mailing is sent a a lower rate to allow for a larger percentage of bounces. Since this is not necessary for confirmed lists, we now can bypass the initial sending rate reduction. This is also true for addresses inserted by use of the Mustang List API. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 24 at MustangList.com Fri, 27 Apr 2007 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/21 You can now select from several templates when you are creating a new message. There are several available, such as business letters and newsletters. The newsletter templates come with 2 or 3 columns, and the business letters have different positions for logo graphics and letterhead text. We are working on more templates and specifically, holiday-themed templates are on the way right now. If you have suggestions for additional templates, please let us know. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 21 at MustangList.com Mon, 02 Apr 2007 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/22 Birthday and Anniversary dates are now part of the address information. This is the first step of several to adding the ability to send messages to clients on their birthday or anniversary. Of course, depending on your particular business, you could use the date fields to store other meaningful dates and use them to send a timely message. Stay tuned for the final rollout of the recurring message functionality. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 22 at MustangList.com Sun, 01 Apr 2007 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/23 The advanced filter options are now hidden unless you need them. To see the advanced options, just tick the advanced checkbox and they will appear, ready for use. If you don't need them, they won't get in your way. As we add features to the system, we are mindful that these new features will not be immediately used by everyone. Constantly having to skip over or scroll past features that you are not currently using is an annoyance, so we will be streamlining all pages to make the always-used features visible and showing the advanced features only when you request them. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 23 at MustangList.com Fri, 17 Nov 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/20 The Import Address process has been enhanced to allow the use of a global category for the imported addresses. Prior to this enhancement, assigning a category to an address during the import process required that the csv file had a column containing the category. Now, you can specify a global category to be used for all addresses in the current import process. For those of you with multiple address spreadsheets that you wish to import and assign to a category, you are now one click away. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 20 at MustangList.com Wed, 04 Oct 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/18 The address import feature has been enhanced to help those of you with multiple email address spreadsheets. Often, the same address appears on more than one spreadsheet and when you import the second spreadsheet, the address used to be considered a duplicate and was rejected. Now, if you have specified a category for the address and the address is not already in that category, we will add it to the new category rather than rejecting it. This enhancement makes it much simpler to consolidate your address lists. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 18 at MustangList.com Sat, 30 Sep 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/17 We have updated the Manage Images functionality so that you can now delete images from your library. If the image has not been used in a campaign, you can simply delete it. If it has been used, we show you the campaigns that used it and give you a preview link. Should you delete an image that has been used in a campaign, it will cause that image to be unavailable for the messages that used it, and cloning the message will include a link to an image that no longer exists. We recommend that you NOT delete an image if it was used in a campaign within the past 30 days. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 17 at MustangList.com Fri, 25 Aug 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/15 We have added the ability to filter by state. If you've included state information in your address records, you can now target your mailings to a specific state or states. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 15 at MustangList.com Thu, 17 Aug 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/14 Image upload, storage, and management features are now available. Click on "Manage Images" to begin managing your image portfolio. You can arrange images by mailing, or images that are often reused can be stored in a common directory for easy access. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 14 at MustangList.com Wed, 16 Aug 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/13 The Edit Message page has a new feature to update the message you are currently editing and to immediately show you a preview of the updated message. Clicking the "Update" button will update the message as before; clicking the "Update and Preview" button will update the message and show you a preview of the message in a pop-up window. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 13 at MustangList.com Mon, 14 Aug 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/12 The Quick Add Email Address button on the Manage Address page now allows you to select a category for the address. This way you can add an address and select a category at the same time. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 12 at MustangList.com Wed, 09 Aug 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/11 Categories can now be marked as private. This allows you to selectively display categories for subscribers to choose from. If, for example, your categories are newsletter topics, but you also have an internal category, you would not want public subscribers joining your internal category. To protect private categories, they can only be assigned from the admin pages. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 11 at MustangList.com Sat, 29 Jul 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/10 The Mustang List Signup API has been enhanced to return response codes that provide details about the results of a call to the API. On the API/Signup Form page, we have provided sample php code to demonstrate the use of the response codes. These codes can be used to craft a custom thank you page for the new subscriber. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 10 at MustangList.com Tue, 25 Jul 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/9 The Mustang List Signup API is now available, and can be used in two different ways: The first is a link that uses a signup form on the Mustang List site - inserting the link in one of your website pages should take just a few minutes. The second is a sample HTML page for you to use on your site. You can customize the page to fit your site design so that you maintain a consistent look and feel. Subscribers can provide their email address and contact information without leaving your site. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 9 at MustangList.com Thu, 20 Jul 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/5 The Address Import feature has been updated. Even very large lists can now be imported using this tool. You can also now skip fields you do not wish to import. If your list is a spreadsheet containing other information you can skip the unneeded columns easily. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 5 at MustangList.com Mon, 10 Jul 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/4 The Address Import feature is now available! You can now import addresses from a csv file directly into your address list. The email address is checked for validity and must not be in the banned list. Duplicate email addresses are dropped. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 4 at MustangList.com Thu, 06 Jul 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/3 The Address Activity Detail report now contains open/bounce statistics and address activity information. You can easily review open/bounce stats and activity for an address in one place. support@MustangList.com (MustangList Support) Announcement 3 at MustangList.com Wed, 05 Jul 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.mustanglist.com/announce.php/id/2 The List Activity Detail report is now available.
