Yeah, that's what I meant by multiple email addresses. It can be one line
with email address separated by commas or semi-colons...

Tested, attached. Change the pic url to one that exists, of course. Then run,
and open the resulting file in your browser.

Thanks, Kat! But I fear I've not made myself clear.
I want to duplicate the functionality of the page by using a EU program,
much like the EuGoogle program can duplicate the functionality of the Google
web page. Meaning, I'd like to have a window where I can enter names in a
box and then have the program send each email to that website, as though the
email had been entered, the "Add to Global Remove List" was checked, and the
"Perform Action" button was clicked on the website.
Was that any clearer?! :)

You want a Eu program to access that webpage online, not perform the
function of that webpage, ok. One problem: i have no email address there to
test it with.

What I want is when I enter an email address in my Eu program and click
"Remove," it will create the URL required to send to that site and get the
email added to their Remove list. So, it is duplicating the functionality of
that web page, isn't it?!
For instance, if I enter "nobody at noplace.com," and click "Remove," the Eu
program will generate the URL
http://www.exit9to5.com/cgi/remove="nobody at noplace.com", except that I don't
know what URL to generate! Somebody who knows HTML and forms should be able
to figure out what URL gets created after clicking the "Perform Action"
button on that page.

If you want to test if the address gets added to their remove list, just use
a fake one of name at domain.com format.

libCURL has functionality to allow posting (the HTTP POST method).
I haven't tried to see if it works in my wrapper (eulibCURL).
It shouldn't be difficult (probably just a few constants missing).
actually an example libCURL C program that posts is:
---
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
/* First set the URL that is about to receive our POST. This URL can
just as well be a https:// URL if that is what should receive the
data. */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://postit.example.com/moo.cgi");
/* Now specify the POST data */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
"name=daniel&project=curl");
/* Perform the request, res will get the return code */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
return 0;
----
so I imagine the only change required to eulibCURL would be to
declare the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS constant.
Let me know if you want to head down this path or not.

That would probably be easiest, but would it work? Does that open an app
window that I need to manually close, or can I close it programmatically?

Yeah yeah! Thanks, Robert... Now, how do I get a Eu proggie to send that
along?

That's okay, because with Eu all I have to do is parse the list of emails
and then loop through the list, sending each one separately... no big deal.
So, how would I send them?
