the computer can't read the information. It may be due to HTML
graphics or advertisements included in your email or it may
be due to your email signature. Please remove all the extra
enhancements in your email and resend it. Choose the plain text
format when sending your email and remove any signature. Please
make sure to include: (the colon) between the mailbox and mailbox
number. |

the option that allows you to create a new group of your undelivered
destinations from a previous broadcast. You must know your previous
broadcast number. Once you have created the new group, you may

at least two days in advance whenever possible. The sooner you
queue your broadcast, the better the chances are of it being
sent on time. |

a number that has significance for you. Otherwise, the group
number has absolutely no significance. The group number may

number. Only one additional non-phone number field is captured
and included in subsequent activity reports. All other fields
will be automatically discarded by the Voice Messaging system. |
