My wishlist - Email for the Family Mailing List

[pjb at ccc]

I think it would be very helpful to have a family email listing for the Family Mailing List rather than simply have them in the Personal Profiles section.

We are starting to send out emails to the congregation to help save on postcard postage but are running into a problem. If we list a family email only in one spouse's profile (as we are doing now), we can't utilize the mailing label option for those who don't have email because we get a hundred or so useless mailing labels of spouses who got the email through the other spouse's profile. It is a waste of labels and sorting time. If we list an email address in both spouse's profiles, they get two emails with the same message, but we have to do that in order to get the correct mailing labels for the other church members who need the mailing.

Also, this would be very helpful when making the church directory. As it is, we have to list the email address under only one spouse in order to only have it show up once in the directory.

Thanks!

I believe this has already been asked for on the wishlist. However it probably will not happen before the next full version as it requires a database change.
