| Hi Just out of interest why are you using Publisher? would it not be easier to use your hosting companies newsletter service and design your own newsletter using HTML/XHTML. I don't understand the double opt-in system? Your web hosting provider should be able to provide you with a set number of Newsletters that you can send to your members. | ||||

If you're not good at HTML or CSS then here are some free newsletter templates to use. phplist is a script - phplist.com : Homepage : home - that can be used to manage sending out newsletters (I'm pretty sure it has double opt-in)
