Description
Mass e-Mailer is a unique e-mailing utility that helps you to send single message to many different recipients with a single click. Its does not matter whether, number of recipients are 10 or 200 or whatever. All you have to do is to fill in the message, subject (and choose an attachment, if you wish) and select an e-mailer list. And click on "send". Within a few seconds, you will be notified that message has been sent to all the e-mail addresses contained in the e-mailer list.
Benefits :
1. You can send same message to all your friends without hinting at other recipients. Normally if you use, CC or BCC, then the recipients know about the co-recipients.
2. You can send a large number of e-mail addresses. I have tested it for 200 e-mail addresses of my customers. It sends in 3 seconds.
3. Send greetings to all your friends or relatives with a click, instead of typing or cutting and pasting again and again.
Getting Started
Getting started and using Mass e-Mailer is play of children. Still, if you need some guidance follow these simple steps -
1. Create a mailer list : Create a mailer list by typing all the e-mail addresses in a text file, such that only one e-mail address comes in one line. DO NOT leave any line blank, in between or on top. In the following figure, Notepad is used to create such an mailer list,
Fig 1. Create a mailer list
You can use any text editor to create such an e-mail list. One sample list is also provided in the program folder of Mass e-Mailer. Save this file with ".txt" extension i.e. as text document, preferably in the program folder.
Hint : You can make different mailer lists for different categories e.g. friends, relatives etc.
Caution : Don't leave any line blank at top or in between.
2. Start Mass e-Mailer : Now fire up Mass e-Mailer 1.0 from start menu. Mass e-Mailer starts up as shown below,

3. Type in Subject : Now type subject of your message.
4. Select an attachment : If you want to send an attachment with your message, click on open icon or type in path and name of attachment file. Following figures show how to do so,

5. Select mailer list : Now in a similar way select mailer list. Either type in full path and name or select through clicking open icon and using dialog. You can also select mailer list by selecting File Menu-Open List. Alternatively, you can also type in e-mail address(s) in the mailer list box, the same way as described in step 1, but this would be temporary.

After selecting attachment, typing subject and selecting mailer list, Mass e-Mailer looks like this,

6. Message : Now you are left with message. There are two ways, either you select a text file or type in manually. You can select a text file by File Menu-Open Message in the same way as you selected Mailer List File.
7. Sending e-mail : You can send e-mail now by clicking "SEND" button or selecting from File Menu , Send. When sending is completed, you are informed of it.

Caution : You must have an e-mail client for sending process to complete.
