Description
hi,
My client wants to send a newsletter to a particular group, or sometimes to all subscribers ;
How can I do to make it possible without rewriting twice the same newsletter ?
Simplenews allows only one newsletter by e-mail. I would like to select some more, or at last to do not disable the newsletter after sending so that i can re-send it.
Is it possible ?

I normally do not like sending email unless the User subscribes; however, I was having a lot of problems with our Server for about 6 months and needed to inform All Authenticated Users of the planned down time.
I made a separate news list called Web Site Alerts. Used phpMyAdmin to run the query to get all the emails and then used the SimpleNews function to Import the comma separated emails into that new list.
--------------------------------------
Query: SELECT mail FROM users WHERE (mail != ' ') AND (uid != 1);
Once you get the results, scroll down and there is a link to Export the results. This gets you the list in a comma separated format; save as mynewslist.csv.
---------------------------------------
Administer >Content Management >Newsletter
Create a new newsletter.
Next: Subscribers >Import
Select your new newsletter.
Open your saved file in NotePad; copy-paste the email listing into the Import text window.
---------------------------------------

Thanks for your answer ahsford, but I can't do it like that.
This is not an automatic register. This is my client who adds the mails into the newsletter subscribe list. I can't telle her adding her clients twice to have them in a newsletter to classify, and in another one to send... It would be confusing.
In fact, what she wanted is having several list to classify her clients, but sending all of them the same newsletter ; but she asked several newsletters.
So now, how can I do to make her easy to classify his clients in several groups, and to send everyone his newsletter ?
1) is there a way to add subgroups in a newsletter subscribers's list ?
or
2) can we tweak the code to send the newsletter to everybody without taking care of the mail of the subscribers's list ?
or at last
3) do not disable the newsletter after sending, so that the client can modify and send easily several times the same newsletter.
What do your think is the easiest, and how can I do that ?
thanks.

Sorry. What you want to accomplish is beyond my experience.
