Thank you so much for your responses.
We want to use eMail for important announcements to the whole group (association) and eMails should only be sent after approval from a moderator.
The association is a membership of profesional eCommerce traders of particularly high and publicly verifiable standard.
The membership consists of a large number of disabled members that are unable to visit often and others that visit on a regular basis.
It is important to understand "who is missing" which we currently do in another forum by checking the last time a member visited.
We have a requirement that IMPORTANT announcements are not missed and if there is a matter of urgency to a discussion then this would be the ONLY time an eMail to all members would be sent.
It is critical NOT to bother members with eMail unless absolutely necessary because of disabilities and also because there have been occasions in the past where eMail messaging has been abused.

So is this possibly an option?
The forum I set up was just a play place. On the basis of what I found our chairman has set up a forum that will probably be our new home but the last visit and the eMail issues are absolutely critical.
Is this on the agenda at all?

Thanks again for your help

James
