This is kind of off-topic in that it is not specific to mailman based lists, but I am wondering whether any mailman site managers have developed something that might meet my needs.

The short version of the question is that I would like to have one list that sends HTML messages that "include" images which are not the mail itself, and where the URL for at least one of these remotely hosted images is personalized for the specific recipient.

OK. Now the background. I have recently been co-opted by a local community/non-profit to help with their web work. I also have a mailman installation that I use for other things and other groups. This particular group, however, has been using Constant Contact for their occasional newsletter. They are just using the free service which is very limited (no archiving, no user subscription page, etc). But it does offer two things that I don't really know how to do. One is having "templates" that make it easy for a very unskilled person to create an "attractive" and "rich" email to be sent out. The other is tracking via webbugs.

I don't know whether the Constant Contact system for creating such messages is a server side thing or client side. Any client side portion (if there is to be one) would need to run on Windows.

So does anyone know of any tools, preferably open source, that would help me set up a list that would add those two properties? I'm running on a FreeBSD system with all the usual suspects (Apache, perl, PHP, mailman (of course), ...).

Cheers,

-j
