Hello!

I want to do some e-mail marketing to the users of my shiny new Rails  
forum, but I have no idea where to start. Basically I want to integrate  
a “Subscribe to newsletter” checkbox on my forum’s signup page, followed  
by a neat, purist way of managing this list and sending out newsletters.  
I’d rather not resort to services such as Campaign Monitor.
