Does anyone send their newsletter via the Yahoo groups email service? I subscribe to Tasty Tidbits (thanks Joy!) and my email list is getting really large after all these shows! Just wondering if anyone uses this, how it works & is it useful?

Also, those of you on Yahoo mail, is there a limit to the number of contacts you can have??
 
Yahoo groups works all right. I'd recommend Google Groups though - fewer bells and whistles, but far less annoying advertising!And with either, there's no limit that I know of - some lists have THOUSANDS of people!

Thanks Jen! I may keep it just in my email for now. That way they are in my address book if they email me back and it doesn't go to spam!

Thanks for the tips.
