texte = Pedro - thanks for your prompt response.I liked the site, and I've got the general idea.But I forgot to mention that HTML pages I'd like visitors to email to theirfriends are not dynamically-generated from a database (in the near futurethey will be). There're plain static.Does it matter? Should I go for your idea anyway?Sorry for asking this kind of maybe obvious questions - I've never done anyemailing stuff in WebDNA before, and also was away from coding in WebDNA fora rather long time (I'm still in WebCat3).It doesn't mean, though, I'm not going to dig deep into reference docs andarchives.
