I want to send out an email to a number of recipients. Same message. Can I
personalise it a bit by automatically generating the persons name from a list
i.e Dear <name>. A bit like a mailmerge in word

Either perform a mail merge from another source or use a third-party tool; see http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail/massmail.htm

Thanks for the earlier reply. If I use a mailmerge how do I tie in the
recipients email address in the distribution list with the recipients name in
the body text of the email?
