REM This script is used to send email to all of your Perforce users.
REM Create a file called message.txt that contains the body of your message.
REM Then call this script and pass the subject in quotes as the only parameter.

REM It makes a copy of the previous email list, then call make_email_list.py
REM to generate a new one from Perforce.

REM The reason for making the copy is so that you will always have an email list that
REM you can use to send email with. Just comment out the call to python mmake_email_list.py
REM below, and run the script. It will use the current list to send email from. This is
REM handy in case your server goes off-line.

copy emaillist.txt emaillist.prev
python make_email_list.py
python pymail.py -t emaillist.txt -s %1 -i message.txt
