PM multiple messages

I've recently started a RPG and have been PMing members with... private information.

My progress has been hampered by the manditory 60 second delay between messages. I can understand this delay, you don't want flodding, but is there any way to send 3-8 PM's simultaniously?

You can add everyone of importance to your buddy list, and then send a group pm thing to everyone on it. Well, I've never done that, but I'm pretty sure thats how it works.

"Why do you have to quote others when you can quote yourself?" (Quote by me)
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.
You see things, and you say 'why'. But i dream things that never were and i say 'why not'.

Go with Majic's description, as that is how you can do it.

Josh, to make your suggestion work, would require A LOT of changing to the PM system, something I'd rather not do. It has crossed my mind before though.

What does the CC and BCC mean? I have never understood them, you can do everything in To.

CC means Carbon Copy, I.E Sending it to someone else along with the main recipicent

BCC means { Damn I forgot what the B stands for....} Carbon Copy, It means they get the email but can't see who it's from.
