    Hello,

    I have a number of article sites with forums (VBulletin and SMF). I would like to send out a weekly newsletter to each of my forum members that uses an RSS feed to display the top 10 latest articles in order to keep people coming to the site and keep the forum active.

    Does anyone know how to include an RSS feed automatically into a mass email? Is there any mass email software that will do this?

    I use php include to display my latest forum posts and articles on my index page. However, I can't seam to get php to work when in an email.

    Any ideas?

    The only way I can think of is if you convert the RSS back to HTML links, as in include the output as normal HTML

    How are you intending on publishing the newsletter? Are you doing it server-side or from your desktop?

    Good question.

    I'll use the first method that actually works.
