Companies and groups either operate their own servers or make arrangements
with ISPs who will allow them unlimitied sending. The email client has
nothing to do with this. It's entirely controlled by the server. If you
have a legitimate need to send messages to many recipients, you may be
able to make special arrangements with your ISP. There are programs that
will automatically send many messages to a single recipient each instead
of one message to many recipients, but many ISPs forbid their use and will
cancel your account if you do so because these programs are very effective
spamming tools.

Thank you Pa Bear for explaining...howdo groups and corporations manage to
send out theirlists of thousands each???

Is there any other email program that would accept the so-called mass
mailing (I don't consider 230 a mass mailing!). Someone told me that Yahoo
does but the person didn't give me the details. Please do let me know if
there's a way, any way to send them at one time? If I follow my server's
rules...I'll have to put in double and more time each time I want to send,
because, even at a 100 per hour, I'll have to be glued to the computer to do
it.

Thanks so much for any suggestions. Adela
