Vivian,

I would highly recommend that you pick up a copy of the “Agile Web  
Development with Rails” book. This book contains all the information  
you need for developing your newsletter application.

Focus on the section explaining ActionMailer.

Apart from that you will need to have a general understanding of  
building RoR applications, which is the REST of what you need to  
know. All this is explained in the book and shouldn’t be a difficult  
application to write.
