"Options" Button?

Re: "Options" Button?

In my search through the web - and I know you say "almost" impossible - RTF has been mentioned a couple of times.

Would this be part of the option you are mentioning?

No, you need pure html code for sending such email. However, it is quite difficult obtaining such a format (that's why i said "almost impossible")

The other info I am quering is that of a newsletter.

I receive a newsletter via my email address and it has my name attached to it.

Yes, this can be done: the mailing script receives the recipient's name from the database, and places it together with the html.

If it doesnt load the option is to pick a path indicated on the email and it takes me to the index page of that newsletter.

Yes, this is also simple: you publish the page on your website and include the link to the page. The link has the necessary variables that will make the name (or other info) appear.

Question/s

1.Does one have to register with a service provider to do a bulk mail?

Usually yes, as VH servers only allow for 200 emails/hour. However, if you only have 20 - 30 - 50 recipients there are companies that offer a free service, at least for a certain time period

2.Is there an option where one can send bulk mail without going to any expense - bar sending each person and individual mail?

As said, some companies offer free service for limited mailing lists. They do so in the hope to have you as a client when your list grows. Also have a look at :

3.Is this process fairly easy to set up?

I beleive yes.
