should read the official FTC page carefully.
Message Header: From, To and Subject
From: The
program will use the "Name" from the List
Settings (not the list-name) and the list-email address
as sender information.
To: MailList
Controller uses only the recipients email address by
default, but you can add e.g. the field
"[Name]" as friendly name to personalize the
to-field. Each recipient gets its own message, which
contains only a single email address.
Subject: The
subject should describe the contents of the message.
e.g. "Yourcompany Newsletter"
