[Marcel Hochuli]

Hi

Does anyone knows a software for easy generating html newsletters on
Mac?

aka www.supermailer.de (but this is Win only).

I am not sure it is quite the same, but I found an application called Mailings was pretty handy for this.  Find it here http://www.limit-point.com/

You still need to create the HTML, but once you have this Mailings works OK.

More recently I've been using a regular HTML editor to create pages (I use Coda), and then encode them for sending using Safari / Mail - simply upload the page with your message to a suitable host, view the page in Safari, and then hit Apple-I (File / Mail Contents of this Page) to generate a message in Mail.app that contains the necessary HTML, in multipart MIME along with a plain-text equivalent.  Then I send things out using the List manager in CGP.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your suggestions. I walked through them. Maybe Coda is, what we are looking for. Uploading the pages to a webserver can also serve as a newsletter archive for customers, which is a nice bonus.

Do you remember how big the initial learning curve of Coda was?

Do you know if the CGP list manager can handle tags for replacing the "name" of a recipient? (We have all recipients in the list as "FirstName LastName <em...@domain.dom>" so it should be possible to extract the name to individualize the newsletter).

Again, thanks for your input.

Marcel
