Newsletter software that can remotely upload images for remote hosting?

My first question ever after 5954 points of answering:

There must be some software or web service out there that can:

1) Create a newsletter for mass e-mailing using a "word like gui interface"

2) Upload all images to a webserver so that the images are NOT attached in the e-mail (therefore making it huge)

3) Send it out or launch the default e-mail program with the images being pulled from the above webserver.

The main problem is our users can not figure out for the life of them how to upload an image to a website, then link it to say a Word docment they wish to send out that has images in it. So all the images end up being IN THE BODY and ATTACHED ending up with a 2 megabyte e-mail.

We've tried teaching them FTP and html, simply...if you are in I.T. you know that most people can not learn this.

Again, it MUST be able to automatically upload the images to a website, then "pull the images from the website" in the html of the e-mail automatically.

    "pull the images from the website" in the html of the e-mail automatically.

    How would you know where the images should be placed in the email? If your end-users are so dense that they can't create an email, then there's nothing that you can do about it. Most of what you asked can be achieved, but putting magically placing the images in the right place? lol. Maybe you should post a step-by-step guide on their computers? After doing it a few times, they will get it. And, don't say that they can't learn it. You learned it, and so can they. They just don't want to. Here's a little trick, if you even want to waste your time on these lazy people-when you're teaching them something, right up front you should tell them that the method that you're showing them is the easiest and that a child could do it. It's just a mind game. How many people do you think will complain about not being able to send a simple email, then? Not many.

    We use NewsletterMagic.com to do this. Has a great GUI interface and uploading images is point and click. Really simple. There a bunch of videos on their site where you can view this being done.
