Do you mean something like for NAME in `cat /tmp/names` ; do mutt $NAME < /tmp/mailbody ; done or so? If you want to suck in everything in /tmp/names to your to: field for a massive letter, then I simply put my cursor at the field (I use bcc:) and read in the file, which is already tab-indented and comma-separated; I have a script that grabs addresses and generates that output. You might try generating your list of names such that it makes an alias definition and then sourcing that file from within mutt or your muttrc or even making the file itself a bare-bones muttrc file, but all of those sound pretty ugly. Just want do you want to do? % % Thanks, % % Mike HTH & HAND % % -- % Michael P.
