How about having personalized announcement mailing lists ? A personalized mailing list will allow mailman users to send personalized emails to all the list members from a common email template. Suppose I am the manager of a company and I need to ask all the workers for a meeting. I want each of my workers to prepare a topic to speak on during the meeting. For this I need to send each of them a message separately mentioning the topic he/she has to speak on.
Suppose the email *template* is like this: *To : <worker-email>* *Subject: <sub>* *Hello <worker-name>,* *Hope you are having fun at <worker-place>. I am arranging a meeting at 5 p.m. on Saturday. I want you to speak on <topic> during the meeting. So, come prepared for that.* *<other-suff>* *Best wishes,* *Ankush Sharma* *Manager* *foo-bar* And I have a spreadsheet data on the mailing list server like this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cAbdSmc1NA-C9IZFjc_zB67qEvgmX8Jr3xYyGxPdwdU/pubhtml Mailman can have a functionality of flooding the *template* by using the spreadsheet data. The variables in the *template* (< -- > stuff) would be replaced by the corresponding row data in the spreadsheet corresponding to the emails of the list members. This can provide great flexibility to mailman users who use mailman as announcement list. Later on, mailman can have the functionality of saving email templates and choosing one of them in a certain scenario. Mailing lists can be made more personalized and powerful in this way. Expecting further feedback or suggestions on this idea.
