Hi,<br><br>Just wondering what the current state of the various newsletter mailing<br>systems are?<br><br>I've looked at simplenews but it is what it says - Simple. I'm sure<br>that's what the author intended, however I'm sure there must be a wider
<br>demand for a more feature rich mailing system?<br><br>The features and issues queue that would make Simplenews more complete<br>doesn't seem to be moving very quickly.<br>I think the UI for simplenews is good, but the outgoing mail and
<br>formatting I find quite poor.</blockquote><div><br>It's unlikely that simplenews will (or should) evolve to anything more complex.<br><br>There are entire projects dedicated to newsletter setup and send out. I would suggest that this is a non trivial task, especially if you want to send out high volume to lists (although you could use Drupal to send to an external distribution list).
<br></div><br>So, short answer, I don't know of anything being developed right now, and it's a big job to get done right. There is CiviMail -- see <a href="http://civicrm.org/civimail">http://civicrm.org/civimail</a> -- which integrates with CiviCRM / Drupal. Don't know how optimized it is for the HTML + header/footer that you're looking for.
