How about a very differen approach to language syntax:

Procedure MySqlLookup
var Result
   ForEach (h_x-mailer h_from h_to h_subject) do
      Result = Result or MySqlLookup("select " LoopVal " from table ...")
   EndForEach
   Return Result
EndProcedure

;LoopVal is the current value of foreach

it's a very diferent syntax - but it's very readable and intuative.
