 * Hello,
    WordPress is working really good, even wp-mail.php. My hoster does not
   support cronjobs, I think it should be possible to start wp-mail every time

 * I believe that this is possible if you include a call to wp-mail inside your 
   index.php. That way, every time your page is viewed, the file is executed.

 * Excuse me, but I’m not very familiar with php. I inserted
    – – – – – – – – – –––––––––––––––
   snip … $fp = popen(‘./wp-mail.php’,’r’); pclose($fp) … snip – – – – – – – – ––––––––––––––––
   but this did not work. Obviously a php-script could not be executed at the command
   line. Would you be so kind to give me a short hint, what php-command I could 
   use.
 * Best regards,
    Edwin
