Version 8.5

Major Features

Audit your mailings with EmailAdvisor directly from the ListManager web interface. EmailAdvisor is a new tool that allows you to preview how messages will appear in over 30 popular email clients, as well as see where they are being blocked as spam or filtered into bulk folders.

Add CAN-SPAM compliance information--automatically. ListManager can automatically insert unsubscribe and other CAN-SPAM compliance information directly into every mailing you create.

Easy clickthrough tracking. ListManager can automatically make all links in your messages clickthrough tracking links. Or, click one button to make all links tracking links.

Tighter integration with other applications. ListManager's new smart table join makes working with data in other tables a snap. Use ListManager's wizards to personalize messages or create targeted segments using data in other tables or databases.
