At this point you need to assign different names to the checkboxes,
field2,field3 etc

Yes, that prepends the single value submitted to the domain
Something missing here, or maybe I have been using CGI.pm too long and
forgotten what how it was
done in the early years.
Do you have a statement at the start of your cgi script that says something
like;
use CGI; or
require cgi-lib.pl;

That's the clue to work backwards from. all your addressess have to be in
$mailto, but that's a
scalar
You need an array of collected email addresses, in CGI.pm parlance, thats
@names = $q->param; but I don't know what library you are using
Then with the array, you can add further addresses to it, and finally, go
through the array and
send your e-mails
foreach my $address(@names){ do the send mail routine }

how to force html4 output
Hello list, first of all a blessed 2007 to all of you. Can anyone tell me, if there is a way to force CGI.pm to deliver the html code with a DOCTYPE switch for HTML4 and not XHTML? As there are some problems with the media type for XHTML I'd rather prefer HTML 4.
