Sometimes it is necessary to create and send a set of e-mail messages, but each of these messages differs from each other only in minor detail. For example, when you want to wish Merry Christmas to all of your clients or partners. Also usually the company has the database with partner's contact information (or at least it would be easy to create one). In such case, the best option is the DB Mail Director program.
Firstly, you should create a message template, which includes special tags. Such tag contains either a field name from the existent database, or a logical expression with a Boolean field, any other field and static text. For example, a letter template may begin with such string: "Dear {{PARTNER_NAME_USE ? PARTNER_NAME : [[Sir or Madam]]}}!". So, for data row which field "PARTNER_NAME_USE" is true, and field "PARTNER_NAME" is "Mr. Jackson" the message begins with string "Dear Mr. Jackson!" but if "PARTNER_NAME_USE" = false, the first line will be "Dear Sir or Madam!"
The template may be used also for creating any other message parameters. Usually the parameter "Send To" will be "{{PARTNER_MAIL}}". The user has the option of defining any Boolean field, and indicating that for this row the message should be sent, as well as there may be a field which contains time of row creation, modifying and last message sent. Of course, user interface allows created message preview. A message template text can be written as plain text & also Rich Text Format (HTML).
There is a free version of DB Mail Director.
