autoresponder working off outlook express 6 address book

Want to send out newsletters

[Philiboy]

Does anyone know of an autoresponder which loads email addresses from outlook express version 6 address book. Ideally free. Extra info : I want to be able to send out newsletters in HTML format to anyone who completes my implementation of form2mail.pl. Ideally there should be an unsubscribe function & I want to avoid having to do much manual work, certainly not loading email addresses from address book into excel or whatever. Couldn't get WorldMerge to work with outlook express. Thanks in anticipation.

If your plan is to use Outlook Express to send your mails and manage subscribers, I would recommend against it. The program wasn't designed for that and there are few if any add-ons to give it that functionality.

However, you can export your addresses one time into a database and then use a dedicated e-mailer - whether web-based, like JangoMail or Vertical Response, or desktop, like GroupMail or MAch 5, to handle your mailing and mail list chores. These will give you mailing list management capability as well as the ability to send multipart (text and HTML) mails.
