Default Auto-Send a premade .OFT file from Command Line

Is there any way you can send a pre-made .OFT file automatically to a
pre-determined email address? The effect I want is something similar
to the logic below:

send welcome-message.OFT to

Of course the above would just send the pre-written welcome message to
the specified email address, without asking any questions -- just do it.

where does the specified address come from? if from an incoming email, try
rules and choose the option to replay using a specific template.

I mean, ideally, all of this information would be passed to the command
line from a batch file, the end result is to send the same message over
and over again from the command line, with the destination email
address being the only variable that changes.

you can use command lines to send mail - look for the /m switch about
halfway down http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/commandlines.htm. You'll need
to publish the template to use it - AFAIK you can't use templates in this
manner, only custom forms.
