Can anyone recommend an accessible alternative to MailChimp? (self.Blind)

Hi all,
I'm starting a blog soon and a big component of that is going to be a weekly newsletter. I was hoping to use MailChimp, which is the industry standard for that sort of thing, but it looks like the program isn't all that accessible as far as I can tell.
Can anyone recommend an alternative that would work on Mac OS and that has most of the functions found in MailChimp?
I appreciate any and all suggestions.

I wanted MailChimp to be a service were Chimps send you mail from various zoo's. I was disappointed when I googled it :[

I've been able to sort of make MailChimp work...that said, it's taken like an extra half hour for something that should have been five minutes. From what I remember it also only lets you make a plain text version, which for whatever reason then only got sent out to maybe 20 of the 150 people it was supposed to go to. Good times.
Is setting up a general email listserv and using that not an option?

I'm not sure how to go about doing that or if that will meet my needs, to be honest. I'd like to create content-rich newsletters that curates weekly blog content, and I'd also like to see stats like how many people opened it and engaged to measure engagement. I'm not certain but I don't think a list service can get me those stats.
I'm hoping I find a program that does what I need. I'll report back if I do. And if anyone cruises by with experience with some of these apps, I'm all ears as well.

That's sad; when I used MailChimp at a nonprofit five years ago, it was almost perfectly accessible. Too bad things have apparently gotten worse.
