I want to create something like a newsletter, with each newsletter consisting of a number of nodes of various CCK types, some with attachments, some with comments allowed, etc - you get the idea.
The nodes are the easy part - the bit I can't figure out is how to make the "collection" for each newsletter. The only thing I can think of as some sort of view but that would need a new view for each newsletter issue.
Suggestions, please?
Thanks

How about using a single view that takes a taxonomy term argument, make a vocabulary called Newsletter Issue (or something similar) and tag the nodes you want for a newsletter with the appropriate term?

Maybe using simplenews module, and allowing node attachment over newsletter content type?

Edit: this is the solution, add a "node reference" field to newsletter content type, with "multiple" checked, select "Full node" on "Display fields" for this field, then, when creatin your newsletter, select the nodes you want to add to it. ;)
