    Thanks Gary. It seems that Automator is such an underused, forgotten little program. You haven't thought of doing a book/ guide to Automator ? It seems you can do a lot of things with this program.

    Hi Gary
    Thanks for this. Is it possible to set this up to send the same message to multiple recipients in one go?

    Kevin: Maybe. Play around and try it. But perhaps not as it could then be too easily used to send spam.
