Scott, I am keen to do something familiar but every time I try there are some quirks that cause it to fail. I am trying to build a solution that allows any tiddler or group of tiddlers to be sent as an email using an email address found in a contact tiddler. Marks solution will get me there in the long run. But it can be quite frustrating. In user land they can call this "mail merge" which is an essential extended feature for document and database handling which is something tiddlywiki should excel at.
