You would basically be writing a mailet that is a one-way mailing list.
Still, there's no need to do this with a mailet when you could do this just
as easily in the message creation. Depends what you're using the write it I
suppose... if you want to compose the message with Outlook (or some mail
client) and just send it to a single address and have the mail send it to
everyone, then a mailet is the right tool for the job. If you've got some
other way you create the messages that can already pull the message list
from the database, then you don't need a mailet.
