Hi Bill!

02 Sep 2018 18:15, from Bill McGarrity -> Richard Menedetter:

 RM>> Why do you want something like this?
 BM> It's a monthly thing.  I do it with echoareas as well.

The question was WHY ;)
Every link can request the list, and it only changes when they make a change.
I so no benefit in sending out redundant information.

But glad that it is working now for you!

 RM>> Links can send you a query any time they want.
 RM>> Why do you want to spam all your links?
 BM> I don't consider two netmails/month spamming... :)

It depends on the informational value.
If it is 0 (as in your case) it is spamming for me.
Even if you only send out one mail a year ... if you have no new
information in it then it is superfluous.

 BM> I figured there was no 'auto' way to do it so I did what you suggested
 BM> already. Small script that does just that. They'll each receive a
 BM> netmail on the 1st of each month.

Great that you got it working!

CU, Ricsi
