Agile mail , 417kb
AgileMail is an email sender which is slim, powerful and easy to use. You can import messages from text files. You can easily add/remove attachments with a simple attachment management interface. You can custom your signature and AgileMail will automatically append it for you before sending outgoing mails. You can use define your own templates to create new mails. Reserved macros and user macros can be used in the mail templates. Reserved macros include recipient name, sender name, date time, etc. Reserved macros will be automatically expanded. You need to specify the values of the user macros and AgileMail will expand all instances of the macros in the mail template for you. You can also use reserved macros in the signature. Macros enable you to create new mails in a very flexible way. AgileMail is able to send to a mail list but the number of recipients is limited to 30 against possible abuse. [Report a dead link]
