Then hit a page that writes all the email addresses to a mailing list text file and performs a [sendmail] using that mailing list. If the list of emails is small enough, I might just put the [sendmail] in a [founditems] loop.Does this sound like a reasonable place to start?I'm using: WebCat 3.0.8 WebStar 4.2 Mac OS9 EIMS 2.1 _______________________Clint Davis Gray Loon Marketing Group 812.422.9999cdavis@grayloon.com------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
