A mailing list is a collection of names and addresses used by an individual or an organization to send material to multiple recipients. The term is often extended to include the people subscribed to such a list, so the group of subscribers are referred to as "the mailing list", or simply "the list".

At least two quite different types of mailing lists can be defined: the first one is closer to the literal sense, where a "mailing list" of people is used as a recipient for newsletters, periodicals or advertising. Traditionally this was done through the postal system, but with the rise of e-mail, the electronic mailing list became popular.

When similar or identical material is sent out to all subscribers on a mailing-list, it is often referred to as a mailshot or blast. A list for such use can also be referred to as a distribution list.

Number Formatting
These two functions clean up and format numbers quite nicely. One function takes any decimal number, negative or positive, and formats it by adding commas every three digits. The other function strips any non-numeric characters from a string leaving you with a valid decimal number. It considers the minus sign and the period to be numeric and will not strip them unless the minus sign is not at the beginning of the number or there is more than one period. These functions make use of regular expressions to do the heavy lifting.
