Manage Messages

Another common feature of most good autoresponders is the ability for you to manage the messages like a mailing list management software.

In what ways do you want to manage your messages?

The most important one is the personalization feature. This allows you to insert fields into your messages which will be substituted before sending with the name of the visitor which you capture from the online web form or from the email they send you.

Other important features are as follows:

• No. of customizable fields in the web form. This allows you to address street address and telephone numbers or etc if necessary.

• Sending attachments which is very useful

• Message in HTML or text formats to allow sending in either formats.

• Option to use different character sets.

• Customizable double opt-in, subscribe and unsubscribe messages.
