Default Are there limits to the number of recipients in one email message?

Hi,

I have 1000 email addresses in my contact list. Can I put all of them in
one group? Is there a limit to the number of email addresses you can have in
any one message?

Somewhere I heard if there were more than 42 email recipients the email
tended not to arrive.

Thank you very much for any help.

PTUNA

How many you can send is up to your ISP, not OE. Contact them to see what
they allow.

You should NEVER send one email to 1000 people.

If you want to send 1000 emails, then send them individually.

Now, that would be something. Make everyone pay for each email they send.

That would cut down on spam and other nonsense messages.

Majik and I would go bankrupt. <G>

We do pay to send email. Connecting to the Internet isn't free.

Not per email.

If you had to pay per email, as one does with snail mail, then it would
significantly reduce the crap out there.

Careful: You may be being too Americentric. Many if not most dial-up
customers around the world /do/ pay per KB usage.

I'm not talking per KB. I'm talking like a postage stamp for each email
message (you could grade it via KB size <EG>) you send.

Agreed, provided there was no analog to deliveries being made with
"postage due". <eg>

More importantly it puts the costs on the sender instead of the receiver.
That's why there's so much spam--it doesn't cost the sender anything
to send one. At least with junk mail they have to consider to costs of
printing and distributing before starting an advertising campaign.
