Marcia,
As a user of various groups, I must say Yahoo is my least favorite. If I
unsubscribe to one of the newsletters, I get a non-identifying email back
that says something like, "You are no longer as subscriber to Yahoo Groups.
Please resubscribe." I get so many newsletters, that I have no idea what
this stupid message is referring to. I would never knowingly subscribe to a
newsletter sent by Yahoo Groups.

I recommend Constant Contact or Lyris as a more practical and affordable
solution. For my newsletter, I use Octeth Technologies' system, which is
provided by my ISP and it works very well. Since the pricing is all wrapped
up in my hosting costs, I don't know how reasonably priced they are. Here
are the links for these three products:
