I don't see any way to do what you want, Ian. TB reads what is in the
TO: field, then uses that data in the %TO variable. If it's a group
name, that's what gets used. If you have more than one individual
address in the TO: field, everyone's message will say "Dear [first name
in list]". I don't think TB actually does a mail merge on the fly. I
think it creates the message once, then sends it to the list of
recipients.
Allie, you're not understanding what Ian wants to do.
