So Witango5 doesn't have the problem with sending lots o' email? Another note to send upstream in my quest for an upgrade... :)
These will be going individually to the recipients, but I was going to BCC the originator. That won't cause problems, will it? (This is a side-project - one of our docs needs to email invites to a yearly conference. He used to do a Word mail-merge into Outlook, but changes on the Exchange server since his last set prevent that from working any more. Since the boss-man knew I'd done small bulk-mails to our web users, he asked if I could do this mailing. Of course, it's way much more complicated than our original understanding of what was needed, but what-the-hey. At least I'm making brownie points for my dept and for Tango! :D ) > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Stein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 8:15 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Bulk Email > > > I use Witango 5 but no special mail function.
