Using an email distribution list in FP2002

M

I have used the Hyperlink feature to automatically format
an email when the user clicks on a link. I would like to
use this feature to format an email for multiple recipants
instead of just one - like using an email distribution
list. I thought adding multiple email addresses on the
mailto: line would do the trick but when I clicked on the
link it took several minutes to display the formatted
email window verses just a couple of seconds when using a
single email address. Is there a better way to do this?

Well, you could set up a distribution list and then mail
to that single address.

In most cases, your Web host has a way for you to set up
and maiontain such distribution lists. Check out their
support pages.
