+1 I used Singing & Dancing and EasyNewsletter so far. S&D might be a good base for customizations, but it comes with a UI that is just not usable (neither for myself nor for my customers). Also it seems to be a bit over engineered. EasyNewsletter is just completely broken in my opinion (I tried to refactor/fix some things and added some tests until I came to that conclusion). I would not recommend to start using it. I fully agree with Andreas. Newsletters are nothing that we should try to solve inside Plone. Therefore I started a mailchimp integration and moved all my customers to it. So far I'm quite happy with it: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.mailchimp For smaller sites the service is basically free and for larger projects the mailchimp service is worth the money in my opinion. (There was/is also raptus.mailchimp which uses formlib/portal_properties and has no tests at all. This was the reason why I rewrote a new package from the scratch.)
