Newsletter Mailer - Simple form allowing web master to type or cut and paste newsletter contents for distribution. An option is included on this form to send newsletter in plain text or both plain text and HTML formats.
Configuration - Allows you to set the different options that are used in the BannerView.com Newsletter Management System such as general successful/unsuccessful subscribe attempts, footer contents, etc.
