Mailing List: Email & Labels - HELP!

We are attempting to use our newsletter mailing list to e-mail a web link to our newsletter in lieu of mailing a hard copy to every family. We have figured out group e-mail and how to print mailing labels for those without e-mail...BUT

how do we exclude from the labels those whose husband or wife is getting the e-mail?

It is reading the adults as individuals, not as families, causing us in some cases to e-mail to the wife and print a label for the husband.

Advice or suggestions greatly appreciated!

One thing that you can do is to use one of the custom codes on the Family Mailing List to track the newsletter status, e-mail or print label.

This would allow you to go to Personal Profiles, send the e-mail message, for those that do not have e-mail addresses, don't print labels or anything. Choose Only E-mail.

Then go to Family Mailing List and print labels for only those that have the newsletter field = "print label".

That's what we are trying - essentially re-coding everyone. I was hoping to save our secretary all that work!

Maybe I'll have to add a "household" option to the wishlist!

Thanks
