Hello,

I can't see if either of these are possible with the current code, so if not, perhaps they could be considered for future dev.

1) The CONTENT:XX is great for putting existing articles into emailers, but you seem to lose the statistics tracking for any included urls.  If this can be enabled it would be great.

2) As far as I can tell, anyone who unsubscribes is simply removed from the list.  As I generate the emailer lists from my ERP system, I need to tell it who does not want to be emailed in future.  It would be useful if unsubscribers were marked rather than deleted so that I can ensure they do not get included down the track.

Thanks,

Paul

What exactly do you mean with "seem to lose the statistics tracking for included urls?"

When you enter a URL in a mailer, it gets converted to a trackable url as the email is sent - so that when the recipient clicks the link, it appears in the statistics for the emailer.

If the body of my mailer comes from a [CONTENT] include, and the original article has links in, these links are not converted to track the clicks.
