Hi,
We planning to start sending weekly newletter to members. We need javascript codes that can be used to send email to all members with each email unique to each member i.e the TO: section will only display one member email address and not others as the case will be if we sent an email to many people at one time.

Thanks in advance for your help

I'm not an expert on newsletters but I think your best bet would be to have your newsletter signup script write to a database and then devise a script which would send an e-mail to every person in the database. Warning: I'm pretty sure you will need to use a server side language such as php to accomplish what you wanna do.

Yes, Javascript has little or no control over email, and is not relevant here. You need a server-side language such as PHP or a compiled language such as Delphi to send large volumes of email.

P.S. I find it a lot easier to simply use a global "to" address, then BCC the email to each member.
