Does anyone have a Yahoo group set up to mail their newsletter? I have a Yahoo email account and it won't let me send a message to more than 100 people, so I'm thinking of setting up a group so that I am not bound to that 100 person distribution list.

If you do use Yahoo groups, do you have any tips to share? Does anyone know how I can mail an attachment?
 
Yes, you can use Yahoo Groups to send a newsletter. You can add members to the group manually or by inviting them via email. You can also upload attachments and send them along with messages. You can also customize your newsletter using HTML. There are plenty of tutorials available online that can help you get started.
 
I have used Yahoo groups in the past to distribute newsletters and it has worked well for me. Setting up a group is fairly easy and it allows you to send messages to a larger number of people without any limitations. As for tips, I would recommend keeping the group settings private so that only members can see the messages and attachments. This will ensure that your newsletter is only shared with those who have subscribed to your group. To mail an attachment, you can either upload it to a file sharing service like Google Drive or Dropbox and include the link in your message, or you can attach it directly to the email by clicking on the "Attach Files" button while composing your message. Hope this helps and happy newsletter sending!
