FIGURE 28.3
Administrators have additional actions available to them.
Figure 28.3 shows the actions available if an administrator has logged in. As you can see, an
administrator has most of the functionality available to a user, and some additional options.
She can also create new mailing lists, create new messages for a mailing list by uploading
files, and preview messages before sending them.
