The meta refresh willsend the mail to that found item and will LOAD the next found item on apage and so on. I designed it that way so you can control the SERVER orMAIL laod and not send all mail at once. You can send as many emails asyou want each time the page loads and the amount of time between eachpage load with my info. Your system will work with a small mail list andmine will send the amount and time between each founditem. No do youunderstand?
