You could simply write a perl script to take an address from a list, add the
message, and then send it using sendmail. I have such a script on our
company web server and we routinely mail out the same message to our email
list, an ASCII file containing name and email address, to around 1400
people. One beauty of this is that it puts only the recipient's name in the
To: field, so there isn't the string of other names anywhere in the email.
I will be glad to send you the script, if you email me (address below in
signature block).
