[Zope] Iterating inside Sendmail

[Michael]

Thanks Tino, 

I guess this is where dtml just doesn't cut it.  i'm real new to Python, 
(just learning it), so I'll try working on this for a while and see if it 
does it or not.  I am just confused as to why dtml-in does not work inside of 
sendmail.  I also tried, as Mike suggested, creating another method and 
moving the [with / in] statement to it and then calling it as 
Bcc: <dtml-var listNames> and that didn't work either.  When I 'viewed' it, 
it appeared to work fine, ie: email@address1.com email@address2.com 
email@address.com etc. but not inside of sendmail.
