To dynamically prepend a "send" in front of a list of unknown length
you can use [list prepend send]. This will generate a message: "list
send a b c d ..." 

However [netsend] wants to get a message not starting with "list send"
but only with "send ..." so you need to use an additional [list trim]
to remove the "list"-part. All together this will be like this:

 [textfile]
 |
 [list prepend send]
 |
 [list trim]
 |
 [netsend]

Ciao
