Re: [emergency-adopt-docs] Quarterly CAP/EDXL newsletter

[Mary McRae <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>]

As far as email management providers, I highly recommend MailChimp -  
free for up to 500 subscribers. I know a lot of people who are using  
MailChimp and are very happy with both the service and the statistics  
it provides. iContact, not so much.
