it's kinda tricky, it's been puzzling me for a long time now

I do not think the 1000 email addresses will be an issue as far as the mailer is concerned. It would be more of a host issue I think. Some of them watch these types of things and do not like it. Ensure you will be ok by maybe speaking to your host and explaining what you wish to do and the fact it is for personal store and opt in customers that wish to get the emails/newsletters.
Without doing a special mod for this purpose, I would think the best way to do this is to copy your html page (CODE) and then place it into the newsletter section as a new mailing and then send testmail to yourself to ensure it is going to look ok, then manually send it.
To my knowledge, there has been no public release of such a mod in the forum or anyone speaking about the need for it. Now that is NOT to say it HAS NOT been discussed, I just have not seen it.
I AM sure it could be done with special mod and then make it where the contents of a page could possibly be snagged from other location to send out.
BUT, your talking some work there and it would take one of the pro modders in the forum to do that.
