From update: "The new email editor is currently only available when designing manual emails and manual email templates. The legacy email editor is still being used for event emails and automatic emails such as membership emails, invoices, and receipts." Not much use if all emails can't look the same. Constant Contact has a header and a footer template and all emails you send are the body of this template. That's what Wild Apricot needs.

This specific request was used in the presentation on the new email editor. Unfortunately the new email editor does nothing for what people need, which is one template that is for everything, not templates scattered all over the place. It doesn't even apply to event emails.

I can't vote for this enough either. I would like to abandon our constant contact as it seems redundant to have WA and Constant contact and then having to export the lists on a regular basis back and forth. Please solve this issue!

You cannot put out a new email interface fast enough. This is the 2nd biggest issue WA has in the Wish List. What are you doing to create an email interface that allows for drag-n-drop formatting, for example, like Mail Chimp? If you will not improve the interface, then please allow for a platform integration that is easy to connect, sync and work with.

Can't vote for this enough. I heard a rumor from one of your tech support people that this was in early development. That was a few months ago. Any update?

Yes! A simple way to create a newsletter and email it out would be awesome!

I just designed an email in Word including a table to align link buttons with text and there was no way for me to create a WA template which worked or email it directly through WA. I had to email manually through Outlook.

I always dread composing email blasts because how limited the customization is. Even with coding knowledge, WC limits the customization so much that I feel like our emails are unprofessional. Would love even the ability to import google fonts.

It's been almost a year since I composed our last newsletter, because by the time I gathered all the images, optimized them, tweaked and tested the layout, added all the events and news, and tested it half a dozen times, it took all day. Having stepped down from our leadership committee, I no longer have that responsibility, and NObody else is qualified to do it. I admit, I really tried to overachieve -- there's no reason a "newsletter" can't be in a simple letter format. But even that has to be formatted, which means it will vary from author to author and year to year. It also limits the number of people qualified to compose it, and even a simple multiple-element letter is quite a chore to someone who isn't being paid to do it, and who does it regularly.

What's needed is the option of a preformatted template in a true Content Management System -- the author simply fills in a form and the system resized the images, optimizes them, everything is run into the prescribed format, test and send. Only then would I consider it a simple matter to send a newsletter, on schedule, monthly.

I suggest the same sort of CMS for Event Descriptions. Ideally, there should be an option to override and use the current system for events types and email situations that are not repetitive and must be published quickly.

Definitely need this to make an email newsletter. There's no point having an email template that cannot cater for adding more content to the email.

Yes, please give us the same layout flexibility in emails that we have on web pages.

Wow, that's currently not an option??

In the Template library, I'd like to be able to add multiple content section boxes.

I wish I could move existing blocks in a template or add blocks as needed. The templates would be more flexible that way and allow me to do more with them can I do now.

I would like the ability to customize templates by being able to add section or content blocks with dividers.

I would also like the ability to schedule and stop mailings.

Add <hr> (Horizontal rule) to the Email editing toolbar. There is currently no provision for creating a vertical separator between items, unless they are (otherwise) needlessly placed in a table and the table border modified, which creates its own complications. Also, please note that Outlook 2010 and Gmail (at least) do NOT respect CSS margin values, so text winds up butted against images regardless of image Margin Settings.
