This is exactly what I did for OLDaily, using MailChimp to create my newsletter from my RSS feed (previously I created the email directly and sent it myself; it was far cheaper but it was eventually blocked by too many anti-spam services). I'm OK with this as a solution, though as I say, it is expensive (which is why I don't really promote the email newsletter these days) and is a bit inflexible. Anyhow, this post explains the whole process.
