Neil, your suggestion about sending just the URL of a hosted 'newsletter' is extremely clever. However, I'm not sure how it would work with sponsored newsletters, that one can read offline and would include the ad banners.
OK, there are solutions for both issues. I use OpenAds and I have banners showing on all my drupal pages, these newsletters included. You could create a separate zone for those newsletters which will give you the granularity to have sponsored newsletters if need be.
As for logged out users, you could make these hosted newsletters also viewable by logged out users. You just need a bit of php conditional stuff:
if $user ->uid: show dynamic blocks based on users' location, profile date if not - show standard dynamic blocks, last 10 blog entries, last 10 comments, last 10 forum posts, last 10 users.

Shai, you're right: the eNewsletter module looks like the one I need. Please share with us any response from the developers. Regarding Zookoda, I'm actually a subscriber of several newsletters hosted there and it looks good. However, I'm not very comfortable with having to manage two separate subscribers lists.
Cog, I am aware of the subscription / subscriptions modules, which I'm using in other sites. However, they are not exactly newsletter systems.
Kind regards
