Using Recipients block
This block contains a list of mass mail recipients. You can add/remove recipients to/from the list or edit their info. Right-click on a field or entry to use one of its features.
Recipients are highlighted in red if you use a field for which there is no information for that recipient. To see what is missing, point the cursor to the interested entry and a tip will appear. To fix it, use the Edit feature and add missing values.
Clicking on the Recipients button will bring up a dialog for adding/removing recipients to/from the list.
Use the arrow buttons in the middle to add or remove the recipients.
