Adding HTML text to the email body for each recipient Tom at GSD 06.07.2006 17:07:02 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.

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. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Tom at GSD" <TomatGSD[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1EEDBF9D-304B-4EB2-8467-212451EF5142[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Adding HTML text to the email body for each recipient Tom at GSD 06.07.2006 22:25:02 Thanks - that is what I thought. So obviously we would have an email in the sent email items for each recipient.
