new extension: send_dada_mail.pl, new docs: moving towards multiple fields

Hey everyone -

two points:

I just completed the rough rough rough draft of a new extension,
called, send_dada_mail pl, which is a small command line utility that
will allow you to send a message to all your subscribers of a given
list It works much like the sendmail command (and with a slight
massage) - you could even replace the calling of the sendmail command
with this little script, if you were devilish to - for example, say
you have a form to email script Instead of sending the results to
one person, you can now send them to an entire list of people and
also save the info in Dada Mail's archive Or something

In a more less ridiculous example, say you have a Content Management
System, that you'd like to hook up to Dada Mail so that it sends a
message to a particular list, every time you update a section of your
website -

On the command line, you'd type something like this:

 prompt:]
/send_dada_mail
pl --list mylist
 Subject: This is my subject!

 This is my message!

 -- Justin

^D

This should make it pretty insanely easy for local applications to
send a Dada Mail message out In perl, this all would look like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

open( DADA, "|/home/youraccount/cgi-bin/dada/extensions/ 

send_dada_mail pl --list mylist") or die $!; print DADA "Subject: This is my subject!\n\n"; print DADA "This is my message!\n\n"; print DADA "-- Justin"; close DADA or die $!;

And the script now is like 150 lines, so nothing new happening, just
reusing things

Second note, I've started typing out exactly how the multiple fields
project is going to happen Things are fairly nebulous at the moment,
but they're get more and more refined over time and then that'll be
the start of the actual program files, scripts and modules

Both these will be released officially when the next version of 2 11
in the alpha series is also released That is most likely going to
happen when 2 10 14 goes gold

So, interesting things coming up in the pipeline,
