Content: Insert Field: Mail Merge Fields
The Mail Merge Fields tab allows you to merge in email addresses and recipient information. For a step-by-step guide to inserting fields, see Insert Field.
Email addresses
This drop-down box allows you to insert an email address into your message.
Unsubscribe from this list
The unique unsubscribe email address for each recipient. The merge tag %%email.unsub%% will be inserted into your content. For example, if you are on a mailing list called "jazztalk", the unsubscribe address that it displays for you might be:
leave-jazztalk-4323P@lyris.net
Only member 4323 will see this address. When email comes into ListManager with this address, it will unsubscribe that member. The final "P" on the address is a "check character", ensuring that malicious people cannot unsubscribe others. For example, if someone changes the number to something else, say "4000", by mailing to "leave-jazztalk-4000P@lyris.net", ListManager will see that this number has been tampered with, because "P" is not the correct "check character" for the number "4000". In this case, ListManager will interpret the message as if it were sent to "leave-jazztalk@lyris.net" and unsubscribe the sender of the message.
Unsubscribe from all lists
The email address to which a recipient should send mail in order to unsubscribe from all lists on your server. The merge tag %%email.purge%% will be inserted into your content, which will be translated into purge@the-hostname-of-your-server.com.
Recipient's email address
The email address of the recipient. The merge tag %%emailaddr%% will be inserted into your content, which will cause the email address of the recipient to be merged into your message when sent.
Recipient's name And email
The full name and email address of the recipient. The merge tag %%nameemail%% will be inserted into your content, which will cause the name and email address of the recipient to be merged into your message when sent. If no name exists for the recipient, only the email address will be merged in. This field is recommended for your content's To: field.
Owner-Listname email address
The owner-listname@ email address. The merge tag %%email.owner%% will be inserted into your content. If you'd like for your list members to be able to contact you without giving out your email address, this address will automatically forward all correspondence to it to anyone who is set to get list administrator mail.
Email address to post to list
The email address to which discussion list members should send their messages. The merge tag %%email.list%% will be inserted into your content.
Recipient Fields
This drop-down box allows you to insert basic information about recipients to insert into your message. If you have custom information in your database, merge it in from Content: Insert Field: Database Fields.
Recipient's email address
The email address of the recipient. The merge tag %%emailaddr%% will be inserted into your content, which will cause the email address of the recipient to be merged into your message when sent.
Recipient's first name
The first name of the recipient. The merge tag %%firstname%% will be inserted into your content, which will cause the email address of the recipient to be merged into your message when sent. If the recipient doesn't have a name recorded, the email address will be merged in.
Recipient's full name
The full name of the recipient. The merge tag %%fullname%% will be inserted into your content, which will cause the email address of the recipient to be merged into your message when sent. If the recipient doesn't have a name recorded, the email address will be merged in.
Recipient's Name and Email
The full name and email address of the recipient. The merge tag %%nameemail%% will be inserted into your content, which will cause the name and email address of the recipient to be merged into your message when sent, in the format name <email>. If no name exists for the recipient, only the email address will be merged in. This field is recommended for your content's To: field.
Recipient's password
The recipient's password. The merge tag %%password%% will be inserted into your content, which will cause the password of the recipient to be merged into your message when sent. If the recipient has no password, nothing will be sent. This field is recommended if you have a recurring FAQ being sent to a discussion list with basic information about the list and the recipient's subscription. It's also useful in a hello document welcoming new members to the list.
Lists recipient is member of
All the lists the recipient is a member of on this ListManager server. The merge tag %%whatlists%% will be inserted into your content, and it will merge in all the lists the recipient is a member of into the message when sent. This field is useful in a hello document welcoming members to new lists.
Note that this tag should not be used in the Subject: line of a message or document, as it will force some of the email headers into the body of the message.
Recipient's unconfirmed lists
All the lists the recipient has subscribed to, but not yet confirmed their membership for on this ListManager server. The merge tag %%whatlistsunconfirmed%% will be inserted into your content, which will cause all the lists the recipient hasn't confirmed to be listed in the message. This field is useful in a confirmation document sent when prospective members sign up for a double opt-in list.
Note that this tag should not be used in the Subject: line of a message or document, as it will force some of the email headers into the body of the message.
Member ID
The recipient's unique ListManager ID. The merge tag %%memberid%% will be inserted into your content, which will cause the recipient's unique member ID to be merged into the message when sent.
