email multiselect - sending data from maintain to dynamic list of recipients on save

I have a foc file with location, name, email.
I have a maintain that captures approval information for collaboration.

When I save updates to data using the maintain, I would like to send an email to a dynamic list of recipients based on location with some of the information that was updated.
The location has already been determined with an established global variable.

I am looking for an email procedure or something I can use to send the emails with.

I need to be able to pass the dynamic list of who I am sending TO:
I need to pass a predetermined RE: (or it can be coded in the email app)
I need to pass some of the fields of data captured with the maintain as MESSAGE:

Then I need some way of verifying that the emails have been sent.

Has anyone developed something like this or know of someone who has?

We have a sample JSP file that works at some sites. You can pass the pieces of the e-mail (From, To, Subject and Body) from a Winform using JavaScript to the JSP. It automatically and silently sends the mail. I do not have a way to get a confirmation though.

Here is JS and jsp file. Make sure to change the SMTP client and webpage location to reflect your site. Please note that the EditBox values, 1 - 4 are collected from a Winform. In order for Mainain to pass values to a JavaScript they must be placed on a form. The values in the those editboxes can either be singular or a list.

Mark

  
function OnButton1_Click() {
webpage    = "http://md00715:8080/approot/Email/test.jsp";
getTo      = document.getElementById("EditBox1").value;
getFrom    = document.getElementById("EditBox2").value;
getSubject = document.getElementById("EditBox3").value;
getInqNum  = document.getElementById("EditBox4").value;
url = webpage + "?getTo=" + getTo + "&getFrom=" + getFrom + "&getSubj=" + getSubject + "&getInqNum=" + getInqNum;
window.open(url,"emailwin");
}

 String from=request.getParameter("getFrom");
 String to=request.getParameter("getTo");
