Several text strings seem to be missing (some of them are installed with the mod so shouldn't be missing unless deleted after the mod was installed).
Thunderbird also has problems showing HTML emails from other sources in my experience. The newsletter displays fine in Outlook, etc.

Its the standard default theme. The newsletter also displays fine when reviewing. Ive re installed the mod and Ill see how I go. Possibly another mod interfering with it?
Thanks

As there, if members have chosen not to receive announcements then they shouldn't get newsletters. On top of that they can also unsubscribe after receiving the first newsletter.

May be - however, it's against my religion to allow unsolicited mail - sorry :)

Thats a shame. I don't think anyone else would consider the current SMF newsletter facility of sending newsletters to all members as immoral!

Difference is that one is manual (recipient has not explicitly given consent) and this mod is automatic (recipient HAS consented). I'm sure if you sent an SMF news mail every week to every member then you'd get some complaints ;)

No, with SMF manual newsletters the owner can send newsletters to members with or without their consent, by clicking the tickbox to observe their announcement preferences. Similarly with this mod I'd envisage a button in the admin section to add them to the newsletter subscription list only if they have opted to receive announcements. And just as with manual newsletters the recipients can easily cancel if their don't like getting them. So I don't really see the problem.
I won't press it any more though, it's your mod. :)
