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 their friends are not dynamically-generated from a database (in the near future they 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 any emailing stuff in WebDNA before, and also was away from coding in WebDNA for a rather long time (I'm still in WebCat3).It doesn't mean, though, I'm not going to dig deep into reference docs and archives.
