After waiting for one whole night for this mass email to finish, I only get up to find that the email.php page becomes blank. So I don't even know where it left off. The mailtemp table was left with that email batch, with nowhere it indicates where it left off.

I will have to either dig my apache log or my maillog to find out where it left off, then modify my mass email search creteria to reflect that, otherwise I will have to start again, which will bother my members again, and might or might not work.

Does anybody else experience this timeout / blank page and left-over mail batch problem?

I think it might be a better idea for the email.php program to check if there is a mail batch left over, and let the admin to decide whether to continuue it or drop it. Also, the mail batch should store where it stopped (how many email sent, how many to go, perpage etc), this way it can easily pickup if the program timed out.
