I don't know about `mailx -S`, but you could put a placeholder in your msg
file like "Hi NAME_GOES_HERE". Then something like:
#!/bin/sh
while read addr <&3 && read name <&4; do
sed "s/NAME_GOES_HERE/$name" msg | mailx -s "subject here" $addr
done 3</tmp/addrs.txt 4</tmp/names.txt
May need some tweaking, haven't tested with mailx.
Reid,
This looks promising. I was stuck on a placeholder at the top of the message
and putting the right name with the right address since both input files are
in the same sequence.
Thanks,
Rich
