We all know the X-Cart Newsletter system is pretty bare bones, but what I need is for it to function the same way the X-Cart order notification system works. I need it to use my html_message_template.tpl template and I need it to parse php. Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

What methods to y'all use to promote and include products in your promotional emails to customers? For instance, if you have a small category on sale that you want to broadcast via email and include the products pictures, price, buy_now links, etc in that email, what is your method?
