All right, so we decided to go the plain text route. It's just easier than trying to deal with html. Second question. I have about 3300 current subscribers in the old Lyris forum app. I'm going to bulk import them via the web interface, then I have drafted a script that will add their passwords. I have two choices - send the 3300 password commands via 3300 separate messages, or send 3300 commands in one message. Since I don't want to unnecessarily tax the mail server, is there any reason why I shouldn't send the 3300 commands via one message? Will ListServ be able to handle this rather large request gracefully?
