I'm guessing the inside address would me something like

Address
Company Email
Attn Mr. Smith:
[my canned letter]
i forget if the inside address is before the recipient
address--I *think* so. is there a way of having date output
the format "15 August, 2009" rather than my usual, 15aug09?
I am pretty sure these people are most accustomed to GUI/html
mail, so is there a way of invoking evo with html capability?
if there are web pointers on this, puleeze clue me in!
thanks much,

Not entirely clear on you goal here, but if this is a repetitive thing any
of the major scripting lang Perl,PHP,Python etc is easily up to the task.
Otherwise OpenOffice merge works great too once you get the hang of it.
i'm thinking of a /bin/sh script. if $1@ caputures a whole line,
that would grab, say
123 Main Street
and $2@ would grab
York, PA 12345-6789
Actually, I'm trying to figure out something I can reuse if and
when necessary, including applying for a JOB!! whatever....
tx,

t may be a bit of overkill, but you might want to take a look at a
customer relationship manager (CRM). Both vtiger and sugarcrm are in
ports (the lastest version of vtiger 5.1 is not yet in the ports, but it
is a snap ti install, anyway). You have the ability to maintain
Contacts and Leads, create merged e-mail templates and other custom
templates in vtiger, and it is so flexible you can hack up the code to
make it do just about anything you can think of without going nuts
trying to figure out how the program does what it does. You need
Apache, php5 with some simple extensions, and MySQL (PostgresQL is
coming soon). vtiger 5.1 also has an html e-mal editor built in and
produces very servicable output.
Leads would be your job prospects, Contacts would be your Leads that
actually produced a dialogue. I've adapted it to handle Student
marketing enquiries and do customized bulk e-mailings where I work and
it is very easy to set-up and use.
