   I would like to know if these question can be done with calculate columns. Please provide example or code that would be helpful.

   1. I would like to provide checkbox next to each item in a list. When the admin check off a item in the list they would like to send a default email to the creator of each of the items selected.

   2. I have a multi-value field that users can select more then one option. I would like to categorize this field in a list. Sharepoint ootb does not allow you to perform grouping of multi-value fields. Is there a way to do this with out designer.

   Both request can be handled with JavaScript but they are complex (although the first one replicates functions already used on the UserInfo list).

   I'll see if I can come up with something (/*places request on pile */) in the next week or so.

   Your #1 request could also be done using the example here:

   I re-read your first email. The way the SP user list works: if you click the check box(es) and choose to send mail, one mailto action happens (addressed to all of the users with a check in the box).

   It sounds like you're suggesting something that sends separate emails containing specific data about each "row". If you make this into a one-click thing, it will generate a mailto action (like clicking a mailto tag on a web page) for each checkbox. Needless to say, opening 50 new emails simultaneously could be bad.

   Can you clarify how this will work? Can the email just have the same data for all recipients (maybe the list name/url)?
