Create from HTML - Auto parses html text into plain text (only shown if HTML emails are ON). Note that certain unicode characters may not convert correctly, so check. Also, formatting on plain text may not be 100% as this feature is experimental.

Plain text messages can be more reliable that HTML emails as they don't cause as many issues as HTML emails with spam blockers. Plain text messages must always be included.

Start Sending On XXXX-XX-XX @ XX:XX - Specify the date/time that the message should start sending. If this is left blank, it will default to 5 mins from the current date/time (can be adjusted in "control/options.php"). Note that the send time is actually governed by the time you have your cron job running. The message is actually queued to be sent the next time the cron runs. So, for example, if you set a time of 12:30 and your cron is running hourly, the message will actually be sent at 13:00.

Send Only to First X Subscribers - Sends message to first x subscribers only. Useful if you only want to send special offers to your first set of subscribers in each campaign.

or Send Only to Subscribers Who Joined Between - Send message only to subscribers who joined between a given date range.
