The WYSIWYG Editor allows 3 views

1. WYSIWYG Design Mode : Default WYSIWYG Editor 
2.   HTML Edit Mode :  View/Edit HTML source code of the page
3. Preview Mode : This will show you the content inserted so far, as it appears in the browser.

• Enable Mail Merge : To send customized messages (as opposed to generalized messages), in the message subject line and body (both in the HTML section and in the plain text section) you can insert mail merge . Each mail merge is actually a field reference: when the message is sent, the mail merge is replaced by a value read from the recipient’s text in the specified field.

 For instance, if we  include a [Name]  and [LastName] mail merge , by selecting from the Body mail merge dropdown in the message body like:

Dear [Name] [LastName] ,

the recipient will receive a customized message like (example):

Dear Allison Taylor ,

 It is also possible to use fixed mail merge (field name independent mail merge) that are referred to as Field1, Field2  and so on up to  Field6.

If you want personalisation check Enable Mail Merge  option, you will get options for inserting mail merge in both subject and body separately as shown

To insert mail merge in subject line

• Place the cursor in the Subject line where you want to insert the mail merge 
• Form Subject MailMerge dropdown and select the mail merge field you want to insert.

Step3 : Third window in the wizard, Social Bookmarking window,  allows the user to insert social bookmarking sites in the mail body. In this social bookmarking option, users save links to web pages that they want to share. When a recipient of your campaign clicks on the social bookmarking icon(like Facebook) in the received email, the saved link will be shared in the user’s corresponding social bookmarking site account (like user’s Facebook account). Posting interesting content that appeals to a larger audience will lead to awareness of your website and increase website traffic. 

To add social bookmarking links in your email,

• Click  YES for  “Do you want to bookmark your message in social bookmarking sites ? “ .
• Message URL :-Enter the URL to the message or content you want to share in the social bookmarking site here.

http://www.trackemaildelivery.com is an online service which allows you to track your campaigns. It gives you details of how many people opened your newsletter, how many of them actually clicked on links, and the geo location of your recipients. It displays collected data using detailed charts. In order to start tracking your mailing, just insert tracking code  in the message.

Steps to insert tracking code in your email,

• Click YES in “Do you want to track your mailers ?”

Unsubscription links are important for maintaining healthy email lists. Morphymail allows 2 types of unsubscription through your email: Web based unsubscription and Pop3 based unsubscription.

To insert unsubscription link in your email,

• Click YES in the “Do you want to insert an unsubscription link ?”.
• Check Web based unsubscription link option, if you want to insert web based unsubscription, otherwise check Unsubscribe link option and enter the email id used for unsubscription.

Which email address should I use for this?

It is advisable to dedicate a different subscribe/unsubscribe e-mail address for subscription management, that is, an address that is not used for any standard email sending and receiving. This will minimize the risk of receiving spam (that will be ignored during the downloading process of subscription management) and will make it easy to manage the lists. This makes message downloading faster and, most of all, the account space will be preserved. Some services have a limit on the total amount of space that the messages can occupy, and if the given space gets filled, no more messages are delivered.

The email recipients not interested in a newsletters will click on the unsubscribe link, then a message with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line is sent to this email address.

• Enter the text that you want to appear for an unsubscribe link in your email.

Step7 : The seventh window in wizard, check spam window, allows you to check your spam score.

Spam filters perform regular tests on mail messages to determine if they are spam or not. Most of them work on a spam score system, so that the occurrence of just one “spam phrase” probably will not trigger rejection. But if your spam score is too high, your message will get blocked, even if it is well designed and formatted.

Before sending your newsletters, always remember to perform a spam check. This tool will tell you what your spam score is, based on the SpamAssassin rules.
