basket needs an HTTP URL which returns a list of all available newsletters.

I sent an email to Jeff and Responsys asking how to retrieve all the fields for a list with their SOAP API. Each newsletter is a simple field so we need to just get all fields for a certain user.

I don't see a way to do this with their API, hopefully I'm wrong though.

Hi James - here's the language info I mentioned:

---

Instructions on how the language function should work inside the email preference center. 

Currently, we only localize two newsletters.  The subscriber will see different newsletters they can opt-in for based on which language they select in the preference center.  This list will update as we grow our email localization resources.  Currently, the following matrix would apply:

Available Languages:

•	English
•	French
•	German
•	Portuguese 
•	Spanish

MATRIX FOR UPDATING AVAILABLE NEWSLETTER COLUMN:

If user selects English, the Other newsletter column of the preference center would allow them to opt-in for all available content:

•	Firefox & You 
•	Firefox Mobile  
•	Beta News

If user selects any language other than English:

•	Firefox & You 
•	Firefox Mobile

Going to hardcode the list of newsletters and manage them ourselves.

All right! Is it because Responsys has no API for it, or to keep things simpler for now? Just wondering.

Responsys has no API for it :( But a side effect is that things are a lot simpler, too, especially if we need to start tracking languages available for newsletters.
