can someone explain please....

O.K I am doing some marleting for a friends site and they have not had a newsletter sent out for ages but have many adreesses. I need to sort this out immediately. Please note I am not the webmaster for this site but do have ftpo details and contact with the webmaster. I just don't want to mess her around to much.

Currently all of the addresses go into a notepad .txt file. There are lots. I need to organise this. how do I do it ?

I need to send all of these people a newsletter but also have a way for them to unsubsribe. i am sure they have the same sytems set of for this as collecting them.
Whats the easiest way to do this. I don't want to set up databases or anything, just a simple way other than sending them all out in outlook !!!!!!! Remember I have them all in a .txt file at the moment.

I also do not want to go remote with this I would like to keep it on out server

Many thanks

There are some perl scripts out there that allow you to inport text files with all the email addresses in them and then uses a script to send out the newsletter. Don't know any script off the top of my head but i'd suggest searching at www.hotscripts.com
