- I send a daily mailing out to approximately 10 people from my account.
- If I have the names in a file foo.bar, is there any way to send a message
- to each person in the list, *independently*, with a single command?
-
- One option is obviously to
-
- mv foo.bar .forward
-
- and mail myself. But this is no good; mail might come in, and get bounced
- where I don't want it.
-
- Another option suggested to me was
-
- elm -s "Subj" `cat foo.bar` <message
-
- but every individual recipient gets a list of all recipients, which
- is not what I want. I'd like the equivalent of
-
- elm -s "Subj" harry@some.place.edu <message
- elm -s "Subj" bob@another.place.edu <message
- ...
- elm -s "Subj" jane@final.place.edu <message
-
- rather than
-
- elm -s "Subj" harry@s.p.e bob@a.p.e ... jane@f.p.e <message
-
-
-
- Is there any easy way to do this?
-
- (Email preferred.)

- Thanks-
