A few months ago, I started collecting email addresses of people who wanted to be notified when HTML for People is released.

I should have done something smart, like use a newsletter service or something. But instead I collected the email addresses to a plain text file and decided to let the rest be a future me problem.

Well, the future is rapidly approaching. What is the best way to send an email to about 100 people given only a list of email addresses?

@cferdinandi Oh, this looks cool. When I collected the email addresses, I said that it was strictly for notifying about the release of the book, and nothing else. So unfortunately all these cool marketing features would be lost on this project. Still could be a good way to send the one email though.

@cferdinandi Yeah, that's what I was thinking maybe, but just not sure if my email address would get flagged as being a spammer.

@bw Can you convert them to a CSV and import them into a newsletter service?

@bw 100 people is the order of magnitude of a big private gathering , so I’d assume it’d be fine sending through a normal email application without getting flagged as a spammer?

@koos Yeah, I was kind of wondering what the limit is for just sending a regular email to a bunch of people.
