This is beautiful. Something I sorely need. But I'm really wishing for email and not just pm. Fingers crossed.
This would really awesome. I agree with Eric though: a pm system would be really useful and enhance communication. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as well! :)

Does anyone know when this will be fullfiled?

Not for a while I should think. They're fixing bugs first before adding new wishes.

We've started working on this wish.
There'll be an option in "Manage Site" under "Members" called "Send Newsletter". You'll be able to enter title and content and the message will be sent as PMs to all site members.

This is excellent. Thanks!
Will there be some kind of way to toggle a user's preferences so if they want to opt in or out of receiving the newsletter, we have that option?
Is there any chance we will ever be able to create custom distribution lists of users as well? Or, allow a comma-separated list of names to be entered into a "To:" field? (These may be more suited for the PM system than a site membership listing).
Whatever the answers, this is a good start. Thanks again!

I think most of these ideas could be more or less implemented by users using page watching functionality.

It would also be useful to be able to send a regular PM to more than 1 person (even if it was limited to 3 or 5 people max. it would prevent the need to send 3-5 PMs individually).
But that is perhaps a different wish altogether…

How would page watching apply to the newsletter feature? I can envision where some users may want to be a member of a site, but not receive the newsletter.

Done as explained above. Please test.

It works well except for one problem - when you focus on the title field, and then tab down to the buttons, tabbing again scrolls down to the rest of the buttons which are not meant to be visible. Perhaps you should remove the buttons you don't want to see, rather than hiding them?
Other than this, great job!

May I ask - why we do not create a category-page "Mailinglist:newsgroup-a" ( or -b for different memebrlists…) with any standard text - the important is the coment-part here.-
and every member or NOT MENBER of the site can if hw/he wnats click on watch thsi page?
Than with evevry "new comment" from the admin ( or whoever has the rigts for this category) - such Mail-newsletter is send out to the watching people.
This is a typical mailin-list mainternace - if someine do not want anylonger be in the mailing-list than it is cancelled by "stiop watching this PAGE"

This is what I meant when I answered Ed about watching and newsletter.

Great Idea!!
(Just posted this already.)
Before suggesting an improvement or uttering a wish, I was just searching and found THIS entry.
I actually wanted a TEMPLATE feature for emails (internal messaging) to be used for members and other repetitive messaging, like WELCOMING MESSAGES for new Members
Could this also perhaps also be implemented into this structure, somehow.
Perhaps with private as well as GLOBAL (within the website, and separately also for Admins and Moderators)
That would be great!!
Kind regards
