 * I have now tested the plugin for two weeks. This is my experience:
 * – In general the idea of the plugin is very good
    – I used a lot of time to edit
   the templates to my need (to long) – I used a lot of time to edit the templates
   for user managing their account (confusing) – The structure to administer the
   plugin is not clear and confusing – The controls give you not really a control
   over the functions of the plugin (on/off?) or plugins. Where can I stop batch-
   processing? – The batch system sends out daily news twice, you have no control–
   Users experience, that they could not use the link to manage the settings. If
   it works, some get a message “user not found” or “user already processed”. If
   I look into the admin->userlist, the user is still there and I had to delete 
   it manually. – Users experience, that they could not use the link to delete the
   subscription. Same way. – There is no really control between HTML/Text – Mails–
   There is no way to manage Text-Only – Emails or choice for the user – I had to
   install and reinstall all plugins multiple times to make them running – There
   is no control/view (log) about what users do and the occurring errors – There
   is no control which settings are kept in the option-table and which not after
   deinstallation – I have asked some questions in the support google-groups-board
   and did never got an answer
 * In general, I think, this plugin should not be used by a normal user of wordpress.
   There are to many errors or misleading controls to only confuse the user. Only
   users with a deep understanding of wordpress and mysql can use this version.

 * Yea, this plugin is littered with inconsistencies. I don’t know if I can be arsed
   to fix them all. I’m going to look for an alternative I think.

 * Yeah, I tried it also.

   to try something else.
