1. Open the message in the Messages folder
2. Click the Test button in the top right corner of the message editor
3. Enter your email address (up to 5 test emails can be sent from this window)
4. Optional Features
   1. Impersonate Recipient: enter a subscriber's email address in order to receive this test send as if you were that subscriber.  It will populate the mail merge variables with this subscriber's information
   2. Add a Note that will be added to the top of the test messages
5. Click Send
