    hello ,

    If this is in the wrong place please move it.

    I have 1000's (20k accross all sites) of newsletter subscribers but have never sent out a newsletter.

    I think its time now to look at them, i have MICROSOFT PUBLISHER 2002 AND photoshop 7. I can use them both ok and make things look nice but not a clue how to use them to send out and create a newsletter.

    What software do you guys use and can you make publisher / photoshop show links to websites etc. I use gmail for all my emails, have everything re directed to gmail for ease of use and how do i send the newsletters out via gmail / email client?

    thanks in advance for any help as i think i have an avenue here that could be good but never really explored it.

    I don't recommend sending stuff from your own computer. You should consider using something like www.Aweber.com or www.Ymlp.com to mail those guys.

    (and of course you must have their permission...)

    is their a way to create the newlseteers with photoshop / publisher and send them via normal mail? I collect the newsletter subscribers onto mysql database, i can send out the newsletters from my shops also and this works and i have been sending on another site i have but seems to send just text only but would like it to show a proper newsletter with the links etc.
