simple

I have just packaged up the first release (ALPHA1) of Mailout module. Mailout provides a simple interface for sending out an email to a group of email addresses.

The group of email addresses can be defined many ways (pasted into text field, role(s), mailing lists (provided by mailout), csv file, etc.) all addative.

Mailout module also provides a template content type, so you can store email templates (broken up into header/body/footer/etc.) to be used when sending a mailout.

I'm very much hoping this isn't a feature request for 4.8... I'll just explain my situation:

I'm making a fundraising auction site for a nonprofit arts center, and really all I want to do is add some attributes for the volunteers adding items to fill out in addition to the description, that is, have a field to enter the name of the person who donated the item, and another field for the estimated market value.

I thought it would be trivial to create my own product type based on the auction module and with an extra field or two, but it has not been!

I can see many reasons to add open-ended text fields in addition to one big block for "description" to products, so I hope someone has some experience or advice.
