You need to select at least one record before clicking on E-mail newsletter button. Also, in order to use this function, please, make sure to add E-mail field to your form. It can be done on Fields page.

Once you are on E-mail newsletter page you can start creating your e-mail.

You can save your newsletter e-mail settings as a template. This way, you'll not need to fill all the fields each time you want to send e-mail. You can load your template using drop down at the bottom of the form.

Also, please, notice, link at the bottom of the page Statistic. This link allows you to see basic statistic of newsletter usage. You can see date, subject and number of e-mails sent as well as Total amount of e-mails.

As you'll notice we do not allow to send more then 200 e-mails per time. This is why using e-mail templates will save you a lot of time while sending e-mails to more then 200 users.
