Select how many email eddresses to display in the subscription view. The pages displaying the subscribers are quite short, resulting in many pages. It would be nice to be able to choose how many subscribers are displayed. Ideal for managing short mailing lists of a few hundred people.

+ 1 - because there is no bounce-management ...

No worries. I'm sorry to say we abandoned simplenews last autumn and now use PHP list with the bridge. Our main reason was the nightmare of sending HTML mails with simplenews, amongst other issues. I love the principle of simplenews and it should be the *only* solution on drupal, but IMHO it just isn't there at the moment, at least not on D5.

we switched last week to php-list too, it's a little bit a code-moster like oscommerce - but the interaction between server and script is fantastic ... maybe there is some stuff to bring into simplenews - because it would be so wonderful to have a real drupal-solution ...

@momper: can you be more specific on: '... maybe there is some stuff to bring into simplenews ...'?

HTML emailing works. Cron works neatly, with detailed and extensive information on the progress of sending emails. You can finely control who has access to which list to send what. It works neatly across multiple domains (we use the domain module). There is a lot of customisation available to the subscribe screen. It supports bounce processing. It has flexible facilities for import and export of addresses and searching for users/newsletters. It supports registration on the new user account screen (with proper address verification)... and so on. If all those features and more could be properly integrated into Drupal (i.e. simplenews) then I'd be very happy, but for now, we're back to php list and better for it. It is a shame that PHPlist isn't easily usable as a set of libraries within drupal, but this discussion is drifting well off topic.

Best wishes, Stephen

for me a first great and not so difficult thing would be the possibility for anonymous users to put also a name into the subscription form ...

thanks momper
