Why not just send directly from indico? Go to an older conference and click "all" in the list of registrants (uncheck the ones you don't want to send to) and click on "Email" button. Copy/paste your email and voila! On Wed, 2012-09-19 at 18:42 +0200, Jos Poortvliet wrote:
Heya folks,
I've dug up a list of people who went to oSC in 2010 and 2011 but did not yet register for 2012. That's a list of almost 500 mail addresses with obvious duplicates removed*.
I'd like to send them all a mail to invite them to oSC12, see below.
Does anyone have any idea on HOW to send this? I'd rather not do it myself as I'm guessing Google will block me for the rest of my life if I spam 500 people at once. That's only allowed if it's actual spam, right?
And I can use feedback on the letter :D
Hugs, Jos
* people who signed up with a different mail address between those conferences are still on there, nothing I can do other than go through 500 mail addresses by hand - I'd rather sacrifice Popcorn.
