░▒▓█ INTRODUCTION █▓▒░─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Internet commerce is growing rapidly, and will become more competitive
as time goes on. If you operate any business or organization on the Internet
and World Wide Web, organizing and gaining fresh contacts is an absolute
must. PULLMAIL was designed to help you keep track of eMail lists, and to
gain hundreds of new contacts with ease, by "pulling" eMail addresses from
an unlimited number of HTML documents, and storing them in a fashion that
can easily be pasted into the "Cc:" or "Bcc:" section of your eMail program.
░▒▓█ USAGE █▓▒░────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PULLMAIL works best while you are "surfing" the World Wide Web. When
you come across a page that contains the eMail address of someone you'd like
to contact, use "File/Save As..." on your browser to save the .HTM document.
It is advisable to make a separate directory for these files.
Once you have compiled enough HTML documents for a mailing, simply tell
PULLMAIL where the files are, and it will extract every last eMail address,
storing it in "E-MAIL.TXT" in the current directory, or the file you choose.
PULLMAIL WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHECK FOR AND REMOVE DUPLICATE ADDRESSES.
To use the eMail addresses, use Notepad or another text editor to open
the file containing the eMail addresses, select them all, select "Cut," then
paste them into the "Cc:" or "Bcc:" field. The "Bcc:" field is recommended
("Bcc" means BLIND carbon copy) to prevent each receiver from seeing the
entire list of people receiving the eMail. Voila!
░▒▓█ OPTIONS █▓▒░──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PULLMAIL has an APPEND option that allows you to generate a on-going
list of eMail addresses. For example:
C:\EMAIL>pullmail /a *.*
Will append eMail addresses found in ANY file in the current directory
to C:\EMAIL\E-MAIL.TXT (current directory).
░▒▓█ CONSIDERATION █▓▒░───────────────────────────────────────────────────
Though large mailings generate response, be sure to be considerate of
those who do NOT wish to be on your list. People who consistantly receive
eMail that have requested otherwise may eventually take legal measures,
which would definately not be good for your organization!
It is also VERY important that the documents you save do NOT become
part of your own Web pages. Often, those pages and images are copyighted!
It is recommended to save the HTML documents, pull eMails, and delete them.
PULLMAIL v2.0 (Registered) has methods to prevent anyone you specify
from receiving eMail, which is very handy to avoid getting flamed, as well
as to save yourself many "Host unknowns" from dead-end eMail addresses.
░▒▓█ SHAREWARE █▓▒░───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PULLMAIL v1.0s is fully-functional SHAREWARE, meaning that you have a
one month evaluation period to use PULLMAIL without annoying delay screens
and random "Register Now!" messages. Be forewarned, however, that PULLMAIL
will be completely disabled after the evaluation period is over. We feel
that this is fair to both user and developer.
If you enjoy PULLMAIL and would like to register for your own enhanced
and personalized PULLMAIL v2.0, registration costs US$25, and entitles you
to the next FIVE versions of PULLMAIL for free, as this program is growing
more features that we're sure you'd like to make use of!
