Event email targeting and reply, defaults
On Events creation forms, the Event Access Permissions and the Email targeting look almost identical, and our users get confused and forget one or the other. Suggestions:
- Make these two windows slightly different looking; either in color or shading or an icon to indicate where they are
- On the email targeting window, the default is pre-chosen as "all contacts"; can you leave that unchecked? Targeting of emails is important to us and this would ensure emails get properly targetted. (Ideal: If a target isn't chosen, email won't send.)
-On a related matter, the system chooses the system owner as the reply-to, and many of our event organizers forget to make this change. Can you make the default radio button click the event organizer or current user? Or again, just leave this blank?

I agree in respect of the default 'reply to' - it's too easy to send out an eMail with your personal address as the reply address. Not only that but the 'change reply to' option doesn't even list the Associations preferred web admin address?

Further thoughts regarding the targeting of event emails:
- Wild Apricot labels this button "scheduling" but it's actually 'scheduling' and 'targeting'
- Could you change the name of the button to 'SCHEDULE + TARGET'
- Or better yet, split up those functions or distinguish them better?
