Suppose I had a spreadsheet with columns name, email, and message, and I have a windows computer and an account on a unix server. What do you think the easiest way to turn that into n emails is?

Skin it to look like a Mac. Excel can export to CSV though.

And probably do the mailing via some sick VBA thing. Although is any sensible admin finds a Windows machine sending lots of email via MAPI Jack might find his machine off the network fairly quickly.

Well, not *lots*. VBA probably can do it, actually, but for some reason I'm leery of trusting it :)

Actually, I wrote a VBA thing to do exactly that many years ago. Oh for hindsight!

Yeah, it probably is one of the standard examples. But it will require me configuring outlook.
