we had exactly the same problem two years ago. We came to the conclusion that 
a mailinglist software like mlmmj is not the best solution for a newsletter 
scenario.

We now have a software that is dedicated for sending newsletters. It has 
several advantages like database imports from our crm software, personalized 
mails, true formatting for multipart/alternative (you can control the html and 
text part individually) and several more.

We have defined a view in our database which shows all recipients. Every time 
we send a newsletter, I export this and import it on the newsletter server. 
This is just two clicks.

We use http://www.superwebmailer.de/ but this seems to be available in German 
only. But I guess there is similar software available in English too.

Kind regards,

Gerd
