Would it be possible to add a feature in SimpleNews to be able to configure a digest newsletter which is sent out automatically every X days? This would consist of specifying which content types and taxonomies to include in the digest (with a max items per type/taxonomy specified) and then setting the schedule for when it should be sent. Once configured SimpleNews would automatically send out a newsletter via cron.php containing links (and perhaps teasers) to all the content that have been added/updated since the last time the newsletter was sent. Possible?

This will not be implemented in Simplenews. However using Views, include_views and simplenews_schedule this should be possible.

Yes,
I made view that lists all content created the last seven days and import that into a newsletter. Works great and looks fine. You do need mime mail ad well.

I'm looking for the same, I'll try the mentioned solution when I have time. But it took me some time to figure out what is meant by "include_views". I guess it is the Insert View module.

I have used insert views before for this.

But the older newsletter will always display the latest content though.
