Beside the automatic e-mail notifications, you have the possibility directly and selectively to inform users with the newsletter. A newsletter is an e-mail that is sent to more than one email addresses, in short – a mass email. Significant newsletters are sent to a selected list of registered subscribers only. Therefore it should be possible for users themselves to register and unregister for receiving the newsletter. Only pAdmins can send newsletters!
