Hi,

I am looking for a way to send out weekly newsletters which contains teasers of new content on the site.

One way I am thinking of is to use simplenews.
+ create a view of this weeks teasers.
+ use Insert View module to insert the view in simplenews.

The newsletter still would need to be sent manually.

Do you think this will work or is there a better solution?

I did my own, I was converting from an old Slashcode based site that had a few thousand emails on the mailing list. I put them all in a Mailman list, and just wrote a little script to pull out the nodes and let me send them. I didn't think simplenews did quite what I wanted, so for me there was a better one.

Thanks for your reply.
I'd love to see this script if you have it around!

I figured it out the following way:

- enable mimemail, to send html mails with simplenews
- create a view that displays this weeks new content
- install insert view
- create a new newsletter, and insert the view!

That's it!

Would be nice if the mails would auto-send...
