Inserting customized information in an Outlook template
I want to customize an Outlook message template by changing information in
the To and Subject lines and the body of the message. Is there a way to do that similar to mail merge in Word?

Inserting customized information in an Outlook template
Word mail merge can handle the body and to. For the subject, though,you'd have to write your own code to create Outlook items, set the subject, set the body. The simplest way I know to do that is to create and save an Outlook form template .oft file that contains the message you want to send with placeholders for the information you want to customize. You can then use Application.CreateItemFromTemplate to create a new message and Replace() to replace each placeholder with your custom text.

Inserting customized information in an Outlook template
Thank you for your response, Sue. I actually foung a program from MAPIlab
that gives me the ability to customize, including the subject line. Your solution would be another, slightly less convenient, but free!
