New Features
------------
Version 2.4
Support for an "Exclusion List". An Exlusion List is a file of addresses
that you don't want to send to. To use an Exclusion List, create a file
called "exlude.txt" in the WorldMerge installation directory. The format
of the file is one e-mail address per line.
Version 2.3
Multiple selection of recipients using the SHIFT key.
Ability to specify the "To: " field for broadcast messages. This is
accessed thru the Message->Options dialog.
Ability to add user-definable header fields in your message. This is
also accessed thru the Message->Options dialog.
Version 2.2
WorldMerge now has a command line option. Just specify the project
name and the send method (merge or broadcast), and WorldMerge will
automatically begin sending when it's started. The syntax is as
follows:
worldmrg.exe -merge C:\FILES\My.prj (merge send)
worldmrg.exe -broadcast C:\FILES\My.prj (broadcast send)
Microsoft Excel files are now directly supported. This feature is
still in BETA. If you encounter any problems please email us.
You can now specify the recipient list text colors for selected and
unselected recipients. These colors can be changed via the Configure
dialog which is found under the File menu.
Version 2.1
The Message menu and Toolbar now contain commands for "Merge Send"
and "Broadcast Send". Use the "Merge Send" button when you wish
to send a personalized message to each recipient using merge fields.
Use the "Broadcast Send" command when you wish to send the same
message to each recipient.
Broadcast Mode - Non-personalized messages can be sent at the rate of
approximately 5,000 per hour with Broadcast Mode.
Version 2.0
Access Database - You can now connect directly to a Microsoft Access
database. Just select "Microsoft Access Database" when creating
a new mail-merge project.
Reply-To Field - You can now specify a Reply-To address for each
mail-merge project. The Reply-To Field can contain your name and
email address or just your email address. Note the following examples:
Terry Matson <tmatson@coloradosoft.com>
tmatson@coloradosoft.com
Report Generation - Generate status reports for each send. Just specify
a file name and WorldMerge will create a report containing the status of
each message sent. Select this option from the Message->Options menu.
