Utilising Microsoft Outlook for a E-Newsletter

peteyb · 06-29-2007, 02:51 AM

Hi all

I am looking to setup an e-newsletter for my company. It doesn't need to have loads of pictures and a high end layout, as it is really the information which is of interest.

I would prefer to use Microsoft Outlook.

Is there a way of setting up a mass mail that links to an excel spreadsheet to capture the client names and email address's? If this is possible, is there more chance of hitting a users spam by doing it this way?

Any comments, links to helpful sites or suggestions are appreciated.

Cheers

If your company has a website, you may want to look at some of the free newsletter apps that are out there (this way they can opt-in and opt-out).

This is one I found (Googled open source newsletter)
