Although Lotus Connections has a "mail community" feature, it's an all or nothing proposition. A great newsletter feature would include:
- Ability to create content in HTML
- Editing workflow to allow review cycles prior to publishing
- Ability for community members to opt in/out
- Email notifications in the format the users prefer (text or html)
- Ability to send a test email
- Ability to print as pdf
(nice to have)
- Easy-to-use, drag and drop editing (nice to have)
