Thanks, Joachim -- I was skipping right over that one because of its name; sounded like something more "industrial-strength" than I was looking for -- but it does appear simple and straightforward enough. > Smartlist also contains a bulkmail-style tool. I've been trying that one out lately; its archiving feature has some promise, I think. (I prefer to send the folks on my distribution list pointers to the retrieval of interesting text files, rather than jam the text files into their mailboxes -- so an archive server could prove useful indeed. I'd handled this previously with an ever-increasing collection of infobots/autoresponders, each with its own address, but that was clearly gonna get out of hand before much longer. :-) > Of course you can do this with any normal MUA, but wouldn't it be a > pain to input 100 email addresses, even with an address book? Absolutely, given the nature of the MUA's I've been able to find for linux; every one of them seems to expect only certain linux-centric formats in existing addressbooks. bulk_mailer seems to be a bit more flexible in that regard, which might prove to be a great help Thanks kindly, Joachim; much appreciated. -- -- Jeff -- <http://www.wellnow.com> "There's nothing left in the world to prove.
