I have a list of about 50 email recipients i am trying to send an email to.
The list is generated first as a text file with ; after each email - which i subsequently transform into a string which
forms the LCTO list. I am wondering if the string is too long and if it should be formatted in a different way -
if so how would i alter the code bleow to make this work.

thanks for your help.
