New recipient for mailing with entries

Is there any convenient way to add a new recipient when I suddenly remember I should have included Auntie Maude in the family picnic invitation? I realize I can go back and make a separate mailing for her based on the same template, but it would be nicer and more user-friendly to be able to do this from the Mailing interface, as long as the mail hasn't already been sent.

If no provision has been made for this I guess I'll have to make yet another script to call the "Select Contact" script and layout...

You're right, we haven't built in anything to do that. At the end of the day you need to create a new record in Mailing Member. You'll already have the mailing ID if your launcgh this from Mailings, so yes, calling the "Select Company/Contact ( Operation ..." script will end wit the selected contact(s) IDs in Filter::FilterChooseContactIDGlob.

I'd call the script with the following parameters:

"Operation = Begin ; Action = Choose ; Multiple Selection = Yes"

-- And thanks for writing such a great reply to the new layout question on this forum. Very cool of you!
