Thought I would pass on the answer to this conundrum. Seems that my Outlook
system was rejecting the email send because it would overwhelm the capacity
of my mailbox. After deleting all the 'sent' and 'deleted' message that I
could, the send went through. So be aware of the capacity of your email
system.
Thanks for hints everybody.

Subject: [support] Re: Sending Batch Emails
I use Netscape, and my batch email problem is with our ISP - like Valerie.
Our ISP won't allow more than about 200 batch emails at a time. I paste the
list into a
word processing program and create copies of my email, then I copy and paste
about 200 names into the bcc of each email and send.
