Mail Merge

I have a fairly extensive list of contacts in Outlook 2000 and I would like
to send each of the an email that is sent to each of them individually with
their email address in the TO field.

I would also like to personal the body of the message something like:

Dear [FirstName],
I am please to announce....

I there any relative simply way to do such a mail merge? ... with or
without an add-on or 3rd-party utility is perfectly OK.

Note: Years ago when I first investigated this feature in Outlook the
process was so cumbersome that I decided to send each email message
separately manually entering the email address in the TO field and the
corresponding FirstName.

Thanks!

Re: Mail Merge

Depending on your comfort level with programming, you could use VBscript
within Outlook to do this. I don't have any example eaily to hand but doing
a search in google for outlook vbscript mail merge turned up a bunch of
examples including
