ok, assuming you got NO spaces in the email addresses (have plain email
adresses that is).
It really doesn't matter, if you have more than one email address in a
line, but the 'for' will split the result at defined word borders (for
bash that is maybe true for ksh clones too)
for EMAIL in `cat remove.txt` ; do echo "DELETE FROM churchmail WHERE
email = '$EMAIL';" ; done | mysql midtn
that was it...pretty easy isn't it? That's why I really love Linux :-)
