Hi Leo,

one more suggestion/request. As members can be subscribed to newsletters it would be fabulous, if personalised newsletters were possible.

I know there are issues with addressing someone. You pretty much can only do it when you have the first name, or both first and surname. With the surename only you'd have to say Mr, Ms, Mrs, Dr or so on, and there is no Title field in the members module.

So only "Dear ###firstname###" or "Dear ###firstname### ###surname###" would be possible, really.

If none of these two data fields are available in the database, then the whole Address line would be substituted for something like "Dear ###generic###"

So, in effect I guess that would mean adding to the newsletter option the following:

- An option of include a personal address line
- Field to add the first word of the address line (e.g. 'Hello' or 'Dear')
- Choice of which fields to add to this, e.g. First name only or First name and Surname
- Field to add a generic Title, e.g. 'Customer'
