I have a lot of personal contacts that I have verbally spoken to who have agreed that I can subscribe them to my newsletter.

Now ideally I would like to just add them to the a subscription list and they get the newsletter. Now I understand that we can't just spam people and that there are some very effective processes in place in mojoportal. However even though they would like to get a newsletter, people being people in this busy world will forget to subscribe so I would like to add them myself.

I guess that I could register them to the site and then let them know with the password and sign them up to the newsletter.

Alternatively and I suspect the more appropriate approach would be to sign them up for a newsletter and for them to verify. This being the case I would like to change the confirmation/verification email text. How do I go about doing changing the verification text.

Also is there a better way of signing up solicitated clients to the newsletter, yet keeping the integrity of not spamming people.

Thanks for the advice on the newsletters, I will do just that.

With regards to copying from word, I have seen that you have commented to others on doing this in the past and so try not to do the same. What happened was that I sometime use word as a spellcheck by default and copied that word over. Apologies for the inconvenience, I know it is a bugbear of yours.
