Answer 1

I posted the code to send off a batch (List) of e-mails. Looping through a gridview row collection is fairly straightforward and you should check out that link I provided. Here is a small code snippet to get you started.

        List<string> emails = new List<string>();
        foreach (GridViewRow row in gv.Rows)
        {
            if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
            {
                emails.Add(row.Cells[0].Text); // provided that index 0 is the e-mail address
            }
        }

        // fire off the e-mails
