The meta refresh will send the mail to that found item and will LOAD the next found item on a page and so on. I designed it that way so you can control the SERVER or MAIL laod and not send all mail at once. You can send as many emails as you want each time the page loads and the amount of time between each page load with my info. Your system will work with a small mail list and mine will send the amount and time between each founditem. No do you understand? Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
