Well, doing it that way you would end up sending an email to each person
on the list. Altenatively you could loop through the email addresses and
build a cc or bcc to use in the mail() function. Either way, things might
slow down a bit if you have a significant number of addresses. Somewhere
out there is an email class that might help.
Alternatively you could use your database to build a 'subscription list'
for something like majordomo.
