| Summary | 0005163: Using [FORWARD] Link 2nd Time Fails | |||||||||||
| Description |
I've included the [FORWARD] tag in the HTML newsletter template. Using the [FORWARD] link the first time, all is well. I go to the PHPList page, fill in the address and the newsletter is forwarded. The forwarded-once newsletter includes the "This message has been forwarded to you..." footer, very nice. If with the forwarded-once newsletter I use the [FORWARD] link (again), the process breaks. I go to the PHPList page, and get the message "Forwarding the message failed". |

The issue is that forwarding requires that the user who forwards is a valid user in the system. I have a hunch that the second forward fails, because the user who tries to forward doesn't exist. But it might be something else. Apart from anything, I would want to discourage this, but I'm not sure. Is there a good reason to make this work? |

Addressing the question, "Is there a good reason to make this work?" One of the best ways to market something is to develop word-of-mouth promotion; it adds instant credibility. If my newsletter is of good quality and someone forwards it to a friend then that's word-of-mouth promotion (and no spam.) If that friend wants to forward the newsletter, using the phpList method breaks and the letter isn't forwarded. And worse, I look unprofessional. The mechanism could simply be typing the "from" address if it's the second forward, and forwarding to the typed address/addresses with no database check. The reason for using your present method is to insure the html integrity. As the feature stands, it's too dangerous to use. |

fair enough, good point. I'll look into it when I get to the 2.11 stuff. |
