The email newsletter plugin is an advanced bulk emailer designed especially for Wordpress 3. It is very easy to use and feature rich. Heaps of features which allow you to quickly send professional newsletters to your existing wordpress user database.
Online Demo:
I’ve installed WordPress 3.0 over here (stock standard with the default theme): http://tf.dtbaker.com.au/wordpress_newsletter/wordpress/ and enabled the plugin. Please go to that website to view the newsletter plugin demo in action. On the right hand side is a “subscribe” box, simply enter your details in there and you will receive some demo emails shortly after.
