  Just read this interesting post while I was looking for an RSS-to-email service. Does MailChimp’s RSS-to-Email feature allow scheduled emails like once a day or once a week? Thanks & regards, Matthias

  Hi Matthias, A scheduling option is in the works. Currently, MailChimp sends an email every morning around midnight.

  However, it’s worth noting that MailChimp will only send an email if your RSS has been updated the day before. If you make no updates to your blog for a full week, then no emails go out for a week. Some people think MailChimp sends emails every single day, no matter what.

  All that being said, keep on the lookout for scheduling options in January 2009. In the meantime, I recommend setting up an rss-to-email campaign, and sending it to yourself to play with all the different options, like:
