      Description

      Log work on this issue to Bluebird: http://senatedev.senate.state.ny.us/issues/show/4448

      1. Add "Save & Continue Later" option for mailing creations from search results screen.

      2. After the mailing has been sent, the 'Report' shows:

      Recipients
      Included
      Members of Email Seeds
      Members of Search Results

      Unsubscription Groups
      Members of Search Results

      Clicking on "Members of Search Results" currently doesn't show the search criteria used to obtain those results.

      Also, when you're viewing the "Members of Search Results" list, there's a button that says "Add Contacts To," meaning you can select contacts in the list & add them to the current group... But this isn't a group, so when you go through the process to add to the 'group,' you'll eventually get an error telling you "Select Group is a required field" (select-group-error.png), and, of course, you can't select a group because there's no group to select.

      Since Bluebird actually does have the ability to save the intended recipients of a mailing generated from search results, then why can't it save the list right from the start? It saves the list & it can display the list after the mailing has been sent, so why can't it save the list right at the beginning of the creation process? And why can't it even save the search criteria used by the creator?

      Would we be able to eliminate all of the problems if we simply forced the users to create an email group for the selected contacts before being allowed to begin creating the mailing?

      while creating the mailing, if you decide to cancel it at any point, you're taken to the Find Mailings page. I'd expect to be taken back to the Search Results page (ideally, with the same records I'd selected still having a check mark, as if I'd just clicked the Back button).
