Mailer software and contact mgmt

[docholly]

Those of you who do html mailers (like the gg&j WONDERFUL informative and did i say timely newsletter) do you have a favorite program?

Also i'm looking for contact mgmt software... and if anyone has a recommendation for a business card scanner. I've looked at cardscan but i'm trying to stay cheap and cheerful with my 1000's of biz cards i've collected in the past 2 weeks.

I need it to scan and place the info in outlook.

thanks for the recommends..
