You can add entries for 2004 by editing LOG-MAIN.  Simply go to the server
management section in the web interface, choose "Customize site-wide
dynamic web templates", then choose LOG-MAIN from the dropdown list.
You'll see an area that looks like this:

       <select name="a">
         <option value="1997" &+SEL_a1997;>1997
         <option value="1998" &+SEL_a1998;>1998
         <option value="1999" &+SEL_a1999;>1999
         <option value="2000" &+SEL_a2000;>2000
         <option value="2001" &+SEL_a2001;>2001
         <option value="2002" &+SEL_a2002;>2002
         <option value="2003" &+SEL_a2003;>2003
       </select>

and later on,

       <select name="A">
         <option value="1997" &+SEL_A1997;>1997
         <option value="1998" &+SEL_A1998;>1998
         <option value="1999" &+SEL_A1999;>1999
         <option value="2000" &+SEL_A2000;>2000
         <option value="2001" &+SEL_A2001;>2001
         <option value="2002" &+SEL_A2002;>2002
         <option value="2003" &+SEL_A2003;>2003
       </select>

Just add the appropriate option tag for 2004 in each spot (note:
case-sensitive!) and click Update.  That will give you a 2004 option where
required.

This can only be done with MAIL MERGE and requires LSMTP. You can read
about it in the Developer's Guide.
