Vivian,
I would highly recommend that you pick up a copy of the "Agile Web Development with Rails" book. This book contains all the information you need for developing your newsletter application.
Focus on the section explaining ActionMailer.
Apart from that you will need to have a general understanding of building RoR applications, which is the REST of what you need to know. All this is explained in the book and shouldn't be a difficult application to write.
i found some great videos in www.rorug.com
