I'm curious what about FeedBurner Email you felt was lacking, and whether any forthcoming features we plan to offer might make you consider coming back to us for email delivery. (We're very glad you're still using us for your feed management needs, of course.) I hope we didn't ever provide "horrendous rendering" with the emails we deliver; I think our HTML template uses a fairly neutral, easy-to-read format, but of course we want to hear more about your experience so we can consider changes you would find helpful.

In the next release of FeedBurner Email, we will be offering customized welcome/activation messaging, additional HTML email template style options, and a few other oft-requested tweaks.

Thanks for taking the time to post about your email service experiences and progress.

junglelife said: Hey Matt - thanks for taking the time to write. I was scouring my email to find something to do a screengrab of but unfortunately I've deleted all the old newsletters from my inbox. I'd say that above all else giving content owners the flexibility to provide their own HTML would be a huge plus.

Zookoda works in much the same way that Blogger does. You throw any HTML it's way and simply input <zookoda> style tags where you want content to appear. This way I am able to tweak the layout and test in multiple email readers to my heart's content. Gmail has appaling support for HTML/CSS email newsletters which forces me to downgrade my code to support it's limited feature-set. I was however able to use the default Zookoda template and tweak to my liking and found it degraded gracefully.

My comment about "horrendous rendering" is in reponse to both Feedblitz and the Feedburner Email. Feedburner is by far the better of the two but I was forced to strip out all the images from my RSS feed in order to accomodate the email newsletter. As an avid RSS user myself I find this an unfortunate side effect - neither the feed nor the email was able to handle my inline image placement. Furthermoe, having little to no control over the layout and content of the newsletters is an obvious detriment.

I highly recommend checking out Zookoda if you're interested in the competition. They easily beat the pants off of Yahoo! Groups, Dada Mail, PhpMail, Majordomo, and any other newsletter management software I've tried to date.

Thanks for taking the time to write and for what it's worth - Feedburner for RSS feeds is an absolutely stellar application and one that I consider essential to the success of my blog.

This is very helpful feedback. I'd like to make sure our current (and upcoming) templates handle inline images well, of course; the trouble you have described is unfortunate, and I'd love a chance to debug it. If you could send a URL or attach a copy of the feed in the state that was troubled, I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks also for the kind words about FeedBurner! We're very happy to be of service you.

I started to use their systems several months ago. From begin I encountered a lot of small problems, so I used their integrated commenting system to report these little things and requesting new features. I had never received any response from them and none of my problems has been solved. During this time my mailing list was growing and becoming large, until one day I noticed that I cannot login into my account for no good reason. Contacting zookoda has no result (as always has not any). I contacted some of famous bloggers using their system and no one had a problem like mine. I finally requested help by commenting on their blog and they deleted my comment as soon as they saw it.
I think they may not treat you and other famous bloggers in this way but I want to warn all small bloggers to not use this system. Because you can loose your big mailing list for no good reason and you will never get a response from the team created this application.
