Default Sending to multiple users?

I've got about 50 names to send the same info. Normally I put them all in the BCC field. This time, I have to send a unique paragraph to each, followed by common info - about 500 characters.

Is there a way to use OE6 to do this? In this case everything has to be in the text of the email with no attachments.

If OE6 will not do this, I would appreciate hearing about someone's experience with one that will work.

Thanks in advance.

Sam

Create the email with the common info.
File, Save As, save to the Desktop.
Open the file on the Desktop.
Insert recipient and unique paragraph.
Send
Repeat: Open the file on the Desktop.
Insert recipient and unique paragraph.
Send

Thanks, that's great! I wonder if there is a way to enter the address and the changing paragraph in a spreadsheet and automatically combine to send the messages that way?

That would be the mail merge that Norman mentioned.

Got MS Word? MailMerge was made just for that purpose. A little steep
curve if you've never looked into it at all, but easy if you have.

That mail merge is not going to let you add the changing paragraph.

From what I've seen, MS products are limited. Anyone tried Eudora or another program that might do this easier?

I'm not sure what you mean by "limited", but ... Mailmerge will let you
merge anything you want, based on a data file, to any place you want, in the
customized messages. It's not a mail client issue.
