===Description===

You can add as many attachments to your message as you like, but the number listed here is defined in your ##config.php## file:
%%(php)# attachments is a new feature and is currently still experimental
# set this to 1 if you want to try it
# caution, message may become very large. it is generally more
# acceptable to send a URL for download to users
# if you try it, it will be appreciated to give feedback to the
# users mailinglist, so we can learn whether it is working ok
# using attachments requires PHP 4.1.0 and up
define("ALLOW_ATTACHMENTS",1);

# if you use the above, how many would you want to add per message (max)
# You can leave this 1, even if you want to attach more files, because
# you will be able to add them sequentially
define("NUMATTACHMENTS",1);

# when using attachments you can upload them to the server
# if you want to use attachments from the local filesystem (server) set this to 1
# filesystem attachments are attached at real send time of the message, not at
# the time of creating the message
define("FILESYSTEM_ATTACHMENTS",0);

# if you add filesystem attachments, you will need to tell PHPlist where your
# mime.types file is.
define("MIMETYPES_FILE","/etc/mime.types");

# if a mimetype cannot be determined for a file, specify the default mimetype here:
define("DEFAULT_MIMETYPE","application/octet-stream");

===Test message===

#%Send test message#% button ##to email address(es): [empty field]
(comma separate addresses - all must be users)##
~This feature allows you to send a test message to the email addresses typed in the empty field (use commas to separate addresses). All email addresses must correspond to a [[UserInfo user]] in your system.
This feature is particularly useful if you have complex messages with several placeholders, links or HTML formatting. What you see is not necessarily what you get, so send yourself a test message to see what the message looks like. The placeholders will be replaced by the values in the file of the user who will receive the test message. If the user is John Doe, and you send John Doe the test message, the placeholder [NAME] will be replaced by... John Doe.
Note: you will receive automatically **two** test messages: one in plain text, one with HTML formatting. When you send the message normally, users will only receive one version (the one they prefer/you chose for them).
