thanks Joe,
yes this is a disaster.
Especially since part of my marketing is with list I buy, and list I compile.

One blast I sent a few months ago I received a wonderful reply from many.

I sent the same blast to a new group of 5k and got no reply, not one, did not even get bounces! usually get few hundred bounces.

This blast had a large photo inside a nicely designed newsletter.
I'm thinking I may have to go to just simple letter with maybe one small photos tops.
