Serial Mail

I am pleased to share the review of an AppleScript that can effectively generate serial mailings with ease. The script is designed to use Apple Mail and data from an Address Book group to help generate the messages. Once the messages are generated, you can decide whether to send them or save them for later review before sending.

The process involves the script processing the message body of a selected template message and replacing certain tags with their corresponding values from the Address Book. This ensures that each recipient receives a message that is personalized and relevant to them.

Furthermore, a noteworthy feature of the script is that it lets you use custom data by specifying your own labels in the "related names" section of the person's Address Book entry. These labels could be anything from "Assistant" to "Customer number," and the script will replace the corresponding tags with the relevant Address Book values. As an example, I have used the script to inform students of their scores, which are stored in AddressBook.

Overall, the AppleScript for generating serial mailings is an excellent tool that can save you a lot of time and effort. It is simple to use and provides a high level of customization, which makes it a standout option for anyone who needs to send personalized messages to a large number of contacts.
