Mark, If you consider this at a deeper level, it violates the listserv(tm) concept. Mailing lists streamline the creation of outgoing messages to subscribers by creating a relatively small number of identical message header/body data files that are then "chunked" to the list via different message envelopes with a number of subscribers in each. This mechanism helps keep thousands of messages from piling up in Imail's spool folder (of course, Scott Perry has written of, and treated, Imail's difficulty in managing the sudden injection of these messages into the queue, but there would be even more significant problems if thousands of list messages each took up a separate file). If you had different headers for each message, you'd have to create different data files for every subscriber, which would then clog the spool folder and create a bunch of fun.
If you want to customize outgoing mail to a list, you'll be better off mail-merging and sending the messages from a client. That way, hopefully, the streaming ability of your client would provide a sort of helpful throttling. There certainly could be scripts written to read the list membership files and gen the messages from the server itself, but they'd still be separate messages and would not use Imail's mailing list module, IMAILSRV, as intended. Anyway, if you're going to do this, you should spare the server the horsepower necessary to generate the messages and just let it concentrate on sending them.
