How to mail

Question

hi,
I am using htmldb mail facility,i have 4-5 checkbox with static values,now on page in which i am using mail option,
it contain a select list in which there is static values of checkboxes,and text ,the data written in this i want to send.
now i have written this cursor
DECLARE
CURSOR U_MAIL IS SELECT MAILID FROM USERINFO1
WHERE (sports =:P13_SELECTLIST or entertainment =:P13_SELECTLIST)
MAILUSER VARCHAR2(40) ;
BEGIN
OPEN U_MAIL;
IF U_MAIL%ISOPEN THEN
LOOP
FETCH U_MAIL INTO MAILUSER;
EXIT WHEN U_MAIL%NOTFOUND;
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => MAILUSER,
P_FROM => '[email protected]',
P_BODY => :P13_TEXT,
P_SUBJ => 'HI');
END LOOP;
CLOSE U_MAIL;
END IF;
END;
this works only if a single value of checkbox is checked,if any one check more than one value it wont work,means if in sport if anyone select cricket it works because in that case checkbox onluy have single value,but if anyone select more than one value say cricket and football than checkbox contain cricket;football both value ,now if any one select football from list than how
to get maii id corresponding to it.
please anyone can help what to make change in cursor written above.

hi jason,
I have made correction suggested by you,but it still not working ,please can u go through cursor again and see if any change needed.
DECLARE
CURSOR U_MAIL IS SELECT MAILID FROM USERINFO1
WHERE (instr(':'||:P13_SELECTLIST||':',':'||sports||':')>0)
MAILUSER VARCHAR2(40) ;
BEGIN
OPEN U_MAIL;
IF U_MAIL%ISOPEN THEN
LOOP
FETCH U_MAIL INTO MAILUSER;
EXIT WHEN U_MAIL%NOTFOUND;
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => MAILUSER,
P_FROM => '[email protected]',
P_BODY => :P13_TEXT,
P_SUBJ => 'HI');
END LOOP;
CLOSE U_MAIL;
END IF;
END;
This code is still executing for a single checked value.Even if i check cricket,football and select from list cricket it not working.
I was testing it just for sport.In my table sport is a variable of type varchar2(50).
Can u suggest me any other alternative to do it.
