Can anyone recommend a *free* RSS to email newsletter service?

@Edent Not quite what you asked for, since I can’t yet give a personal recommendation, but I have had Listmonk (like Dan Q) above on my ‘want to try’ list for some time, along with https://github.com/ElliotKillick/rss2newsletter .

@quentinsf that does look good! But I am reluctant to try and maintain something like that.
Will ponder further. -

@Edent There's a free plugin called instasend that adds a button to the blog compose screen to send each post via your newsletter. I guess the automated option is a paid add-on. I manually generate and send monthly newsletter and Newsletter automatically imports a specified number of posts into the draft newsletter via an RSS block. Sorry if I took you down the wrong path.

@jsjoshua it was an interesting rabbit hole - thank you

OK, I've got rid of #JetPack and am now using Follow.it for sending my blog via email.
You can subscribe for free at https://shkspr.mobi/blog/#secondary
Feedback on the service very welcome!
It does a full HTML feed, including images. Only limitation is that it only checks for new posts evert ~6 hours. But I rarely post breaking news, so that should be OK.
Let me know what you think of it.

@Edent Glad you figured something out! And thanks for posting sharing your solutions. I've got a feeling a lot of people are going to be looking to migrate data and blogs soon.

@Edent Do we need to resubscribe? Presumably ask that will happen by magic?

@owenblacker
I'm hoping the import will happen automagically - but feel free to resubscribe to test things out. -
Ah, fucksticks. Looks like follow.it adds a load of spammy adverts to the end of my newsletter.
Back to the drawing board!
Anyone know of a *cost free* way to send an email newsletter to about 1,000 subscribers?

I've now set up https://www.phplist.org/ for my newsletter!
Self-hosted! Open source! Works!
Bit of a faff to configure.
A few people reported the messages went into spam.
Some people already unsubscribed.If you want to get my blog posts by email, you can subscribe at https://shkspr.mobi/newsletter/
