I would like to email a large number of addresses from a webpage, with the addressees coming from a database. I can get the addresses into outlook no problem. However when I try to send the email, outlook crashes. Presumably because there is to many addresses in the "To:" box.

One solution I thought of was to put half the addresses into the "cc" box.

however how do I do that from a webpage using the mailto HTML command?

any suggestions would be gratefully received,

Ben Hipwell

No offense but that is just plain foolish. You should use a server-side script to send email. But if you want, just add it to your HREF:

<a href="mailto:email@domain.com?subject=Your subject&cc=emails&to=email@domain.com">email</a>
