Mailing Lists
Mailing lists contain rows of e-mail addresses for a direct mail campaign. Each row in the list contains a single recipient and consists of the following elements in a comma-delimited format.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| E-mail address | Required. Name or <name@domain>. |
| GUID | Optional. The unique user ID that will be used to provide content in a personalized mail message. |
| Message format | Optional. Controls the message format type into which Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) translates the results, for example, text, MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate HTML Documents (MHTML), or Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME). |
| Language | Optional. The code-page value for the mail message. |
| URL | Optional. Provides the ability to pass individual URLs per user to CDO. |
You can create a list by using any text editor, such as Notepad. You can add a mailing list to Business Desk by using the List Manager module to import ASCII text files, files from Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Outlook, or tables from SQL Server databases. To create a mailing list by using information in a .pst file from Microsoft Outlook, see the topic "Export items to a file or to a personal folder file" in Microsoft Outlook Help.
