Re: [mv] email_copy: Adding a "cc" email address to the user's side
****** message to minivend-users from Russ Smith <goldstats@yahoo.com> ******
Inteseting solution,
But why not just make a MRA (Multiple Recipient
Address). With MRA's I can have an email address
of sales@anydomain.com go to all employees in the
sales department. Editing, deleting, adding more,
modifying the recipients is then done outside MV
and the catalog email address (and all code)
never has to change....
That would be my way of this solution, in fact it
is, as while debugging a catalog, I will place
myself on the MRA list so I can see what is going
on...
