I don't know that a framework would be a bad idea ... but then, for something as simple as you're describing, your cost-benefits analysis for using one is going to be pretty shallow. Of course, inside every small program is a LARGE program trying to get out. :) So your mileage may vary. But for the feature(-s) described, I would imagine a simple template for styling their content (headers, footers, a css sheet) should be plenty. But then, I've worked on newsletters before and seen how a simple newsletter can quickly become a larger project (although typically still in the "small project" range) with double-opt-in requirements, archives, etc. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
