Using bulk mail letters can be sent for less than $.12 each regular rate or less than $.06 Non-Profit rate.

*** Using BM-Win Plus for the first time ***

    Sample.dbf in the \dbfs subdirectory is available as a mailing list to play with. It would be more of a test, however, if you made a copy of your mailing list to play and experiment with.  As always, it is a good idea to make a backup of your mailing list as often as possible and especially before using BM-Win Plus for the first time.
