Ideally, stats, subscribe, unsubscribe, and let the person in charge = have the ability to be able to select the recipients for a particular letter based on a field or combination of two fields. i.e. send to all = contacts that are "doctors" or send to all contacts that are "doctors" and are = in the "HIV" prevention program- upload lists can be csv txt excel doesnt = really matter- GUI would be great for managing contacts because if the the contacts = address changes i want the user to be able to login and change his address or = phone etc...

What are the requirements/characteristics of the "newsletter app"=20 you're looking for? Does it need to have stats/campaign tracking?

If they=20 are small enough, then most mail clients should be able to provide=20 the basic functionality of sending a newsletter to a list. >I was playing with mailman , but that seems to be a list serve app. The proper term is "list server," so as not to confuse with=20 "Listserv," which is a copyrighted product (developed by Eric Thomas=20 and L-Soft). ________________________________________________________________________ Vince Sabio Don't blame me; I voted for Matthew. tasteless@mac.com Socialism: Government of the inept, by the inept, for the inept.
