I have a newsletter plugin in development that would fill this void but it’s been eclipsed by other work. I’ll see if I can divert some time to it because it’s going to be a handy addition to leverage the power of 4.9.x and SMTP.
Oh goodness, I will dream of this! Can I supply some tiny funding?

A very kind offer, thank you. Let’s see if it fits the bill first. I’d hate for it to not meet your expectations.

Different thing: Can I turn my main domain site into a multisite now, although there is already a 1000 articels in there? How? Or would i need to start from scratch? Do we have a tutorial on this?
There isn’t a tutorial on migrating at the moment, but there’s no reason why that’s not possible. If you want to see approximately how it works, check this post for a little 10-minute video I did last year of setting up three sites on my local computer.
You might want to try doing a test installation first, set up a basic theme and maybe install a couple of plugins. You’ll see that the plugins and themes get added to the folders in the respective /public and /admin subfolders under the /sitename folders You then have an idea of the multisite structure and can compare which folders you need to copy from your existing site to the admin folder layout. You’ll need to add a few lines to your config.php and put it in the /private folder, and you’ll have a couple of extra prefs in the txp_prefs table that tell Textpattern where things are. From then on, your site should work as a multisite installation.
