Email sent through Quickmail with multiple recipients will use BCC for all participants, so it may not be clear to recipients who the email was sent to and recipients will not be able to do a 'reply-all' to reply to everyone the email was sent to. If emailing multiple participants it may be best to exchange email addresses in advance and use a regular email client. |

After dragging the block to where you want it, reload the page to ensure that it stays there. If after reloading the block is not where you want it again, try dragging the other blocks into place and reload again.
