The simple way is to send them to a confirmation page.  Just print out the
confirmation on the original page when the process is done.  You can use
the output buffering functions to get the initial "be patient" message.  
You can also use it to spit out a list of emails sent along the way, if
you like.  Then, when it's completed, echo that fact out to the browser.
