Glenn,
I clicked on your site and noticed from your resume:
"Engineer working on AppleWorks for Macintosh, Mac OS X and Windows.
Designed and implemented new Mail Merge functionality by converting old
printer-based code into a series of classes that implement various targets,
including printer, multiple files or single file. "
Any chance of getting AppleWorks to do a decent email merge? Almost
anything would be better than jumping through the current hoops in Office
2001's mail merge (which doesn't include any of the Custom Fields and
insanely makes no use of Categories). I can't believe they even tested
that feature with real-world users. I would love to be able to email
"Family" category with Dear <<FirstName>>, from within Entourage. Or better
yet, "New customers" category, Dear <<BusinessName>>, here is your password:
<<CustomName>>.
The closest thing I have providing this functionality is OutBox, an ald but
essential FileMaker 3.0 program that was discontinued back in 1997 by
SpinFree. It's my customer database, used daily, but is getting kind of
long in the tooth.
Anybody know of a modern PIM-CustomerDatabase-CustomEmail program in case
the up-and-coming Service Pack doesn't address the E'rage email merge
debacle?
Thanks!
=Dave
