Something simple to handle opt in mailing lists would be great.

I second this. Need a good and simple newsletter management that has. Multiple Lists, HTML Templates for Email, Way for user to view previous Newsletters, Bounce Email setting, Easy Admin to add, delete and copy from existing DB.

I agree, this should also allow end-user to subscribe and unsubscribe themselves.

Yes I sole heartedly agree that having a Newsletter program for email campaigns is exactly on my list of things I need now.

kudos for this suggestion! I agree!
As far as I can see, it would only take some minor tweaking of the CC Web Form Builder to create something like this! Especially since the form builder can store remotely! No more losing your email list!

An added feature to this could be an admin function to create and send the newsletter from a secure html page. It would automatically send to the current list. (automatically AND manually populated!)

Man this would be great, as a youth pastor I could have parents, teens, and leaders be able to manage their subscriptions to newsletters on our site.

I agree with this newsletter suggestion as well.
In the mean time I use a newsletter service from "mediaserve.com" - Newsletter Marketing.
It's cost is based on use. Because I'm a small business it's only costing $5.00 a month. This service does more than even asked in this post. Go check it out, for the money I think it's a good deal.
I'm not spamming here. I talk up CC every chance I get on other forums,
so . . .
that's my 2 cents.
