The person who needs to send bulk e-mail is the head of our Public Relations and Marketing Department. She is very concerned that everything look just right. so she won't use a "To" address of her own name any made up name. Currently she sends a separate e-mail to each person. This morning I download a trial version of a program that says it will do what I want done. It is called "emailmerge for Outlook". It is fairly expensive at $19.95 per PC, but I will try it and report on its effectiveness.

Then none of the names show up in the "To" box, but you have to put at least one e-mail address (real or made-up) in the "To" box in order to send it. I know you can avoid that problem by using the Word mail merge feature, but it is a fairly long, involved process and we would like to avoid it. What I would like, is to find a procedure, macro, or add-in for Outlook that would let me select names from a list, create one e-mail, and have Outlook send each individual selected an e-mail with only their e-mail address in the "To" box. Does anyone know of a way to do this, or a product that will allow Outlook to do this?
