hello from still volcanic ash in the sky Wakefiled, UK
I’m on a mission to release my self from using mailchimp, not because I have any issues with it just because the company I work for hasnt got anu money so Ive got to build them ourselves.
This means I have to do two things:
1, Build HTML eMails
2, Encorporate a list management system
3, Option for users to switch to plain eMail
Ok first part is nearly complete. Here is my effort so far:

So part one is nearly ticked off and with the eMail sitepoint book on the way
I’m confident knocking up eMail templates will be no problem.
But its point 2 & 3 I have a learning curve to take on. How for example do i do a list management system such as this -
http://pauserefreshment.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=cffdba008a2b7f6335d3621f8&id=31957118a3
The mailchimp system automatically updates subscribe lists, how could I replicate this?
Also mailchimp allows users to select a plain text version for recipients inboxes how do I replicate this also?
Any insights welcome
