[sw-l] signmail question

[Stephen Slevinski]

Hi Anny,

To email multiple people, just put a comma between the email addresses.
"me at signwriting.org,you at signwriting.org,whoever at signwriting.org"

Spelling case does not always have to be exact.  I'll explain later.

-Stephen

Stephen
actually if I do enter the word with all caps... it works fine... the
gloss just have to be exactly the same than the one in the dictionnary
otherwise I get spelling!

I don't think you have to change anything... it's a wonderfull toy...
and works fine!

Just tell me... is there a way to send a mail to many persons at the
same time (group or list of people?) because.... we have a group on
signwriting herer.. and I would appreciate to be able to sens one
message to all of them at the same time once in a while!! any
possiblity (I didn't try yet)

Thanks ffor letting me know!

Anny

puddle and making it such a great tool to work with!!
