Altenatively you could loop through the email addresses and build a cc or bcc to use in the mail() function. Either way, things might slow down a bit if you have a significant number of addresses. Somewhere out there is an email class that might help. Alternatively you could use your database to build a 'subscription list' for something like majordomo. -- David Robley | WEBMASTER & Mail List Admin RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES | http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/ AusEinet | http://auseinet.flinders.edu.au/ Flinders University, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
