Why not use "(multiple domains)" in the subject line of such messages?
if (sizeof($array) > 1) { print " ... blah blah blah ... "; }
That's simple PHP code but it's easy to translate it to other languages (I
forgot the function in Perl to get the size of an array...for all I know
thats actually it, but if not you get the point :) )
