Re: Creating link to multiple email addresses

users may not want you to make their email addresses available to other
subscribers - it would be better to use a web application that sent out
individual emails or at least use the bcc field eg:

mailto:?bcc=auser (AT) ahost (DOT) com,anotheruser (AT) anotherhost (DOT) com

this will work in outlook - other clients may not.
if you are using server scripting and a db why not use a form to compose
your newsletter and send this to each address in the db?

Hello,

I plan to use my website for http://www.ectopic.org/new to let visitors
subscribe and unsubscribe to an email newsletter. The database will have

only two fields: name and email address.

In order to send out the email newsletter using Outlook Express I need to
take all of the email addresses, separate them by semi-colon and turn it

into one long string which will be available as a link on an admin page on
the site e.g.

mailto:jsmith (AT) aol (DOT) com;andy (AT) yahoo (DOT) co.uk;henry (AT) hotmail (DOT) com etc...

How do I do this?

WA Universal Email is a commercially available Dreamweaver extension
that is fully-loaded with premium features. It has built-in support
that will allow you to loop through your database and add the
addresses to your TO, CC, or BCC field. You can also choose to send
one email to all recipients at once or a single email to each
recipient just by clicking a checkbox in the user interface.
