Hi Miles.
Well the system that I wrote generates HTML newsletters using templates
etc... and before the newsletter is sent out it has to go to moderators
for approval.So a moderator will have a link in his email received and
it will point to the newsletter in HTML format, also it is needed so
that people who cant read HTML emails get a link to the newsletter and
can go to that page to see it. Does it make sense??
thanks for your input, much appreciated.
