GroupMail, etc.

I just got the GroupMail, by Infacta, free software to work. I am sending out seven test messages to my test group. I made the file too big, so each email is taking about 30 seconds. It should only be a little while longer.

Later: This software will not work for me because it appear to only allow text messaging (no formatting, font changes, etc.). I had planned the family emails to be a little more snazzy than just basic text. I sent the company an email to ask if I upgraded to the pay software, would there be more options. I suspect not, based on my review of their website. However, it never hurts to ask. (much later) They said that te Pro version has an add-in that will do what I want. However, there are no samples for me to look at. If I buy the software, have 30 days to check it out. Can get a full refund if it does not do what I want. I shall do this when I have the time to play around further.

I downloaded a freeware software, IncrediMail. It is filled with all kinds of jazzy stuff, great stationary choices, lots of good emoticons and other animations. There is an unobtrusive ad at the bottom of each email (a dark orange envelope with these words IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here ). For personal purposes, I think this is fine. The upgrade (no Ads) is available for $30. I have to go take a look and see what is offered. I am not sure I need the upgraded software. But, I had a lot of fun tonight sending test emails out. (Later) Not all the people who receive an email sees it completely. When not all is seen, then the email looks funny. This is not a good way to do what I want.
