Description
------------

This module sends html or plain text newsletters to the subscription list. At the end
of the newsletter, an unsubscribe link is provided. Subscription (and also
unsubscription) is managed through a block, or by an admin on the module's admin pages.
Sent newsletters are collected by taxonomy module, and a link to the term's page or the 
associated rss-feed can be displayed in the block. Not-sent newsletters are kept in the
Drafts folder. New newsletter types can be created to organize your newsletters. The
subscription list can be managed. Sending of large mailings can be managed by cron.

------------
Requirements
------------

- Drupal 5

- Taxonomy module should be enabled

- For large mailing lists, cron is required

Uprgrading
------------
If you are upgrading from Drupal 4.6, please download the Drupal 4.7 version
and upgrade to that first. Then, upgrade to this Drupal 5 version from 
Drupal 4.7.

------------
Installation
------------

- Create a new directory "simplenews" in your "modules" directory and place the
  entire contents of this simplenews directory in it.

- Enable the module by navigating to Administer -> Site building -> Modules.

- Grant the proper access to user accounts under Administer -> User management
  -> Access control. The most important setting is "access newsletters" for
  all roles, including "anonymous user" if you want links to be displayed in
  the Simplenews block to everyone.

- Enable the Simplenews block by navigating to Administer -> Site building ->
  Blocks.

- Configure Simplenews by navigating to Administer -> Content Management ->
  Newsletters -> Settings.
