    Hi,

    I'm looking for a wysiwyg editor than can run locally in windows to give to one of my staff to edit a newsletter.

    I write HTML in a text editor, but they obviously don't have this and just need a simple editor to build a newsletter. I want it to be lightweight and must produce easy to read HTML.

    DW is a bit OTT for this task. Anyone know of something suitable?

    Thanks

    surely it is easiest to have a CMS on your site and simply use a WYSIWYG text box in the admin area for them to use directly on the site, save the hassle and risks of having them FTP things

    Hi,

    We use a standalone application for sending newsletters (we send 30,000+) so it wouldn't work. I would prefer to have final control on this anyway so I can just add the HTML...

    I like this: http://www.fckeditor.net/

    ...but it seems its web based only! :(

    Thanks

    fckeditor was exactly what I was going to recommend without knowing your server details.

    Is there a particular reason for using a stand alone application? A web application could do it just as well using an asyncronious mailing function and also include a workflow system to ensure that the mailings have to be signed off prior to them going.
