Hey - questions.

1 - I already know how to do mail merges and email
distribution lists in Office, but if we don't want each
client on our distribution list to see the names/addys of
all everyone else on the list (we usually mail to blind
cc for this) is there STILL a way to have each client's
name show up in the email (preferably in the address or
subject header lines, if not in the message?

2 - Does anyone know how to take an attachment and add it
in to an email message/embed it for viewing a la HTML,
rather than just attaching it?

Any help would be appreciated,

Jose
 
1) Mail merge & BCC are apples & oranges - mail merge to electronic mail
sends out one at a time, with each individual in the To: field; BCC is a
single message sent to all recipients in one batch. For the former, you
can't use a DL that I know of, but you can filter based on some criteria,
select all in the view, and merge using the selected contacts.
2) You can't use HTML or formatting in a Word mail merge; you'd need 3rd
party utilities; search www.slipstick.com for "mass mail" for options...
