Now that Sumo is the default theme for MB, please update the newsletter design template to resemble Sumo as closely as possible.
Also, I’d like to repeat my request for the option to manually send the newsletter, in addition to the existing newsletter scheduling options.
Thanks!
It’s kind of a roundabout approach, but your second request is a need I also felt. I just decided that doing a newsletter from another domain name would take care of things (related thread).
Thanks y’all! Good idea about updating the default design. For manual sending, we recently added a “Send Now” button that is shown on the list of all newsletters. Does that address this? Maybe we also need a “Don’t schedule” option in addition to “30 minutes”, etc.
No, I’m afraid we had a complete miscommunication on my newsletter publishing request.
I’m requesting an alternative to scheduling — a button the user can request to send the newsletter manually, at any time, without a delay to review a draft. After the user clicks the button, Micro.blog would compile all the posts that have been published since the last newsletter send, and send a new newsletter comprising all of those new posts. These newsletters could go out at any arbitrary time, whenever the user clicks the send button.
Here’s how I envision using it: Every day, I gather up noteworthy memes and vintage photos I’ve found in my internet wanderings, and compile them into a single post. Silly, I know, but people like them and I enjoy doing it. I would like that post to be the last item in my newsletter. I accomplish that now by scheduling that post to publish a few minutes before the newsletter goes out. That is an imperfect system, however, and sometimes I end up with the meme post in the middle of the newsletter, or missing entirely, due to unpredictability in the newsletter sending schedule.
I’d much rather just be able to click a button and have the newsletter send immediately when I’m ready to send it. Afternoon, morning, whatever.
I never use the newsletter preview feature. At some point, I will probably set up my email client to delete those emails when they arrive in my mail client.
Thank you, now I understand. So the way we would solve that would be to have a new setting in addition to daily, weekly, monthly, etc. Something like “Do not send automatically” with a description for how it works. That should definitely be possible.
Thank you — and yes, “do not send automatically” or “send manually,” with a button for “send now.”
I see this has been implemented. I like it. @manton
Where? I don’t see any of this on my account. 
It hasn’t been implemented yet. There is a new “Send Now” button for scheduled newsletters, but there’s not yet an option to disable the automatic sending completely.
I am encouraged by the word “yet” in your reply.
