Yes, programatically using the CDO emailing method. The body is largely

static text, except for the greeting. These are folks who expressed

interest in the FabMate estimating software I sold years ago.

Good point about sending both types. Suggestions for how to deliver?

Should I use something else besides CDO? I suppose I could create the

Constant Contact account I mentioned to my Sales consultant. That would

give us the ability to track opening/deleting/forwarding, iirc.
