Simple Maillist

إرسال النشرات الإخبارية البريد الإلكتروني من وثيقة Word إلى عدة مستلمين.

Send e-mail newsletters to multiple recipients.

This is a free app without limitations and without advertisements.

The content of the e-mail is generated from a Word-document, so this includes markup and images.

Inside the Word-document, merge-fields can be used to include specific information from the user you are sending the e-mail to.

So for example you can do the following:

- add multiple people to your mailing list with their names, e-mailaddresses and extra information

- make a nice document in Microsoft Word including markup and pictures

- upload the Word-document in the app

- send an e-mail to everyone by selecting your document

- every person will then receive their personal e-mail

You can also send an e-mail to one specific person.

It is advised to send an example e-mail to yourself to test how your e-mail shows up on various e-mail programs.

Since the Word-document is converted to an e-mail, this sometimes might have strange effects. Best not to make the Word-document too difficult.

This app is a beta-version, please contact me with suggestions or complaints about the app.

- inside the user-screen you can select settings (probably the three dots in the upper-right corner)

- select the 'Send e-mail' setting

- select an example document

- the server will convert the document into an e-mail and send it to you
