How does this compare to the other Mailchimp addon, Mailmonkey

Permalink Browser Info Environment
I'm looking for a plug and play Mailchimp solution that allows our administrative assistants to do all that they need from within the website and NEVER have to use Mailchimp.com. I've been playing withhttp://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/mailmonkey/... and find that it works up to the Templates, which I have to hand code like the old days. Is there a solution for this or is that the limitations to the Mailchimp API as a whole? Our admin assistant can and will screw anything complicated up... to put it as nicely as I can, and I want her to be able to select a Template to keep things consistent but notice that the C5 WYSIWYG strips out the Header and CSS that I tried to import over from Mailchimp.

hi there,

this plugin in no way replaces mailchimp. It performs a single task and that is to push the registration data into a mailchimp list. anything further needs to be handled by other systems.

it sounds like you may need to give them access to mailchimp afterall. Likewise I've not checked out the alternative plugins you mentioned so cant really offer a review in that way.
