I am just migrating a FB4 project to FB5 and in the process I am updating the list of people who I send an email to when the build succeeds.Whilst doing this I noticed that you can either specify individual email addresses or you can load from a file.I would like to use the load from file but I can not find any help on the option. What I would like to know is what format does the entries have to be within the file?Thanks in advanceSean

Hi Sean,  
  
The format of the file is one recipient per line, with a comma seperating the email address and the name.  
  
I will make sure this information is included in the help file in future.  
  
Regards,  
Paul.

With the Recipients,&nbsp; we can use either a list internally or a file.&nbsp; Is there a way to use a variable without writing additional Scripting code?&nbsp; &nbsp;

Dennis,   
  
 No - I don’t think there’s anyway to use a variable without _any_ scripting, but you could do this one liner in script:   
  
 Action.RecipientsList.AddDelimitedList(MyRecipientList, “,”)

Thanks, we have some scripting in place very similar to this.&nbsp; It is one of the only items that does not take a variable type entry.&nbsp; I am trying to reduce down the amount of scripting where possible to use finalbuilder with all its enhanced functions.&nbsp;

Again Thanks.

Dennis
