MailChimp merge tags in newsletter template

[jonathanstegall]

We need to figure out how to get merge tags into the newsletter template that WordPress generates. So far this doesn't appear to work.

What we've tried so far is the preview text merge tag:

<!--*|IF:MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*--> 
<!--[if !gte mso 9]><!----><span class="mcnPreviewText" style="display:none; font-size:0px; line-height:0px; max-height:0px; max-width:0px; opacity:0; overflow:hidden; visibility:hidden; mso-hide:all;">*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*</span><!--<![endif]--> 
<!--*|END:IF|*-->

In a campaign send to a test user, this does not work. There may be other things we have to do.

The preview text merge tag works now, as of 88108e3

Let's find out if this works for site messages:

*|IF:DONATED365 = true|*
	*|IF:RECURMEM = true|*
	Message to recurring donors
	*|ELSE:|*
	Message to donors who are not recurring
	*|END:IF|*
*|ELSE:|*
Message to everyone else (non-donors)
*|END:IF|*

*|IF:500DONOR = true|* 
Message to 500+ donors
*|ELSEIF:RECURMEM = true|*
Message to recurring donors who aren't 500+
*|ELSE:|*
Message to everyone else (non-500+, non-recurring, non-donors)
*|END:IF|*
