Can I change the file (or database) containing my mailing list while CustomMailer is running and have it take effect?

Yes, but not automatically. You can force a re-read of your mailing list by choosing the “Reload Mailing List” command under the File menu, or equivalently, by choosing the “Open Mailing List” command under the File menu and selecting the first item in the file “history” list or selecting the database DSN, whichever you were using most recently. If you have also made changes to your mailing list that is already inside CustomMailer, you will be asked if you wish to save these changes. Obviously, if you save this back into the same file name, you will overwrite any changes made there, so you need to be careful about which changes you really want. Changing any of the mailing list parameters in Preferences will also cause a reread of your mailing list file or database. NOTE: re-reading your mailing list also causes the “SendStatus” values to be reset to their original values and clears your “duplicate history” information used to detect whether you’ve already sent mail to a given address.
