Hi,

I have an issue where we need to modify the HTML body of the message for
each recipent of an the outgoing email message. For example we are trying to
replace a tag in the email message with the recipents first name. So if the
body looks like

Dear first_name

We then would look up the recipient within the contacts and change the name
(first_name) with the proper first name within the contacts. So the result of
this would cause the body to display something like..

""Dear Joe"""

I am curious how I would do this for a batch send to multiple recipents??? I
want the text in the body to be personalized for each recipient. Is this
possible? Is so speed has to be considered also. We are doing this add-in
using ATL and VC 7.1.

You'd have to send out individual emails in a loop, one to each recipient.
How much processing you do, how large the data set is and how efficient your
code is will determine speed, along with RAM and processor power.

Thanks - that is what I thought. So obviously we would have an email in the
sent email items for each recipient.
