Anyway, it would seem to me from what you said above that Ian
wishes to write a single message to all recipients in a group with the
hope that each recipient will have their unique greeting by name. In
that case then I agree that there's no way of doing that. TB! would
have to generate separate messages to each recipient on the fly for
that to happen.
