well - the snippet i'm looking for are something like;

if a news arcticle are created (or any page) Etomite sends out a newsletter with the page title and a link to every user that has subscribed to the newsletter...

are this "out there" - or... ??

This can be achieved by using the membership_validator that allows people to self-subscribe (add a field that says "send me emails")- or you could just do a simple collect emails for this purpose... Then use email_sender to get the new news items each time one is added and loop through each email address and send it. It shouldn't be too hard.

Or you can build an RSS feed and use Google's feedburner to provide the subscription mechanism and do the delivery

hi guys

thanks for your reply - the membership validator is maybe a step on the way...

What I need is a:

subscribe to our newsletter snippet and then a "checkbox" possibility on each page e.g. "include page in newsletter" e.g. on the publishing tab - and then "something" that auto generates a mail to the subcribed users every hour or 2 hour or so.

I'm not a code guy - so I don't know how to do this.

If you are not a code guy, I'd go with Mike F's solution. Otherwise I'd suggest not going down the path of adding checkboxes to the publishing tab - that will mess with the code base. Hire someone to do it...
I'm not going to- way too busy, but Ralph may want the paid work or you can start being a code guy:) Good luck.
