simple email newsletter

Howdy all

I am trying to organise a newsletter from my site. The site is on my personal web space with my ISP, so I don't have anything fancy at my disposal. To start all I really want is to have the user's typed name and addy sent to my addy, then I will manually add them to my contact list and send them the letter.
What I'm sure I will quickly need is to somewhat automate/speeed up the process.

1. Is there a simple way to send on typed info? (I have tried some scripts that are supposed to do this; they nothing more than mailto links, as they aren't actually sending the info from the input boxes.)

2. Is there an easy to use, reasonably powerful prog that will handle this stuff, possibly by adding info to a database somewhere?

Sure there is......... but we need to know if your ISP allows you to run CGI scripts. Perl, php, etc........ it would help determine what you could run.

Just got word back, no they don't support cgi scripting, "nor will
the server execute any other scripting languages". Is there a way around this ?
