with just one email flyer.
To create a new mailing list:
1. Check off "New Mail list".

to be under in the "Name of Mail list" box. For example, if
you wanted the list to be newsletter@yourdomain.com, you would enter newsletter
into the box.
3. Click "Add/Edit/Delete Mail
list".
4. A page with entry boxes for email
addresses will now be displayed. When you are finished adding addresses
to your list be sure to click on the "Add to List" button to
add your entries to your new list. If you run out of spaces, save your
changes and then edit the list (see below) and more boxes will be added
to the form.
