The preference window is split into four parts by tab panels labeled: Document, Tags, Misc. and Headers:
 Document
- Font: Set the document default text font (Message, subject, signature & Preview)
- Size: Set the document default text size (Message, subject, signature & Preview)
- Text Encoding: Set the document default text encoding.
- Settings: Set new documents account and recipient list. Set the creation of a new document at startup.
Note: Encodings not only determine the way your e-mail looks like when editing but the language encoding used when sending. By default type is Monaco 10 and encoding is "ISO-8859-1" right for Europe/USA. A preview is always displayed using selected settings. You have 34 encodings to choose from depending on your country and language.
Tags
All tags or list columns can be renamed but 'Email address'. Furthermore, MaxBulk Mailer Pro offers 20 custom columns you can use to store recipient's data and insert it into your messages using Tags. Default tags are labeled Opt1 to Opt20. You can also rename those tags to something that will make more sense to you like [Address], [Suburb] and so on.
These changes are global and will affect all future documents so if you need to rename those optional tags for the whole application this is the right place however if you want to rename them for only your current document, use 'Rename tags...' menu instead.
It is strongly recommended to use simple and short words with no accentuated characters nor punctuation signs in order to avoid encoding problems. (a..z, A..Z. 0..9)
Misc.
This panel contains a few miscellaneous preferences:
• Recipients import
- Title case recipient's name and surname:
Change the case of each imported record so first name and surname get capitalized. By default this option is checked, but if you are importing from a known database set though, it is useful to turn it off as it can change what you have typed in your database. e.g., it will change "Stuart McLaren" to "Stuart Mclaren".
- Check for duplicates:
If enabled you will only import one single instance of an e-mail address - thus saving sending multiple copies of your e-mail to that person.
- Extract recipient's name from e-mail address:
Force MaxBulk to extract the recipient name from the e-mail address if it doesn't exist. This option has no effect if the recipient has already a name.
• Delivery report
- Send delivery report by e-mail:
Activate whether you want a Delivery Report to be sent by e-mail back to you or to a different address when delivery is done. The summary report only display the overall result. The detailed report also add a list of the sent recipients.
• Delivery
- Preview message during delivery:
Force MaxBuk to display a preview of each message on the Preview panel during the delivery process.
• Saving Documents
- Save Connection Log:
Set MaxBulk Mailer to save a copy of the connection log into the document file.
- Save Recipients list:
Set MaxBulk Mailer to save a copy of current recipient list along with the delivery status of each entry into the document file. When you re-open the document you will get the same list back with delivery status.
Headers
The Header editor lets you add custom and standard headers to your mail-out. Headers are optional fields that appear inside the e-mail header part, all that "jargon" at the beginning of an e-mail. Many people include an Organization X-Header and sometimes in the Comments X-Headers information on how to un-subscribe can be included.
MaxBulk Mailer includes 15 custom and standard headers:
Cc Add a Carbon Copy address header. Your e-mail will appear Cced to that address.
Comments Add a comment about your message or yourself.
Organization Add information about your company or organization.
Errors-To Ask recipient Mail Exchanger server to send bounces to a different address.
Return-Path Set the message return path. Note that this header most of the time can't be overwritten.
User-Agent Add the name and version of the mailer.
X-Mailer Same as User-Agent.
X-Confirm-Reading-To Ask for a delivery receipt.
X-Legal Add legal information about your message.
List-Unsubscribe The e-mail address to unsubscribe from your list.
List-Subscribe The e-mail address to subscribe to your list.
List-Owner The e-mail address of the owner of the list.
List-Help The e-mail address to get help about the list.
X-List-Host The list hosting server.
List-Software The software used to send to the list.
You can also add headers that are sent by default as for example the 'From' header. MaxBulk will detect such cases and will use the one from the header editor rather than the default.
Press the 'Factory Settings' button to reset all the preferences to default.
