 * Sent an email to all users with the Subscribers role using the [[first-name]]
   shortcode in my message. ALL users received an email with ONE person’s first 
   name, not their individual first names.
 * This plugin is FULL of bugs and doesn’t work as expected. Please update or remove
   from the market.
