Subject: [PHP] selfreferencing script with output

Hi

I don't know if this works, but I think it ought to work:

Set a picture (a line) with width 1, next iteration set the line to width 2,
next to width 3...

OR set a picture with width % off <count of mails>

Change picture with dhtml (or if you prefer Javascript and css ;-))
