  Inconsistent Email Features--Poor User Interface The email interface is inconsistent on some pages.  All pages that have the ability to compose and send an email should have exactly the same interface.  They should all provide the ability to use the same editor, use macros, and provide the ability to test, save, and send the email. This is currently not the case. For example, in the Finances area, within an invoice, you have the ability to create an email to send to the member but this page has only a "Send email" and "Cancel" button.  There is no "Preview and send", "Test-email", of "Save and close" (create draft) buttons and there is no WYSIWYG editor or macros available...only plain text.   Steve Veach Chicago, Illinois USA

  Re: Inconsistent Email Features--Poor User Interface Steve, we appreciate your ongoing feedback. two comments that help your feedback to be more useful in our product improvement process: 1) Write the subject to state the desired outcome/functionality instead of listing deficiencies 2) Do not generalize, focus on a specific thing. E.g. at least for the time being we are very unlikely to embark on wholesale review and update of email screens but we are much more likely to consider a specific thing e.g. 'preview of invoice email' I will move the current post out of wishlist as its not very actionable , feel free to repost in a different way.
