I have completed some additional research and it seems that the stats are influence by the selection you make on the Format tab "Send As:" field.

In my test I selected "HTML" instead of leaving the default which seems to be "Text and HTML". The results showed

Total = 99
Text = 0
HTML = 98
Both = 0

This seems to remove the bug issue regarding the reporting in both but I still cannot see how 100 valid subscribers listed in the mailing list is reported as 99 and 98 above.

Further if I had made a mistake and somehow one subscriber was listed as accepting text emails only wouldn't the results show below if I have left the option for "Text and HTML"

Total = 99
Text = 1
HTML = 98
Both = 99

yes, the stats are a bit all over the place, and will be sorted out at some point

(michiel said in an email:)
The counter is wrong. But it's mostly the "label" that's wrong. It counts the number of *users* processed and not the number of *emails* sent

If in run 1 a user is not sent for whatever reason, it will try again later then in run 2 the email is sent and "sent" is increased.

In this case "total" will be 2, as it's processed the user twice. So it's a bit confusing.

Okay, thanks for the replys so in the case of understanding what emails have been sent the stats for when you select HTML only in the format tab and the results below appear the correct value in regards to how many emails were sent is "HTML = 98"?

Total = 99
Text = 0
HTML = 98
Both = 0

And in the case of leaving the default which is "Text and HTML" the stat to look at in regards to how man email were sent is "Both = 98"?

I am a PHP developer and would be interested in helping to improve the stats section if required.
