Automated E-Mail Mail Merge via Access

[Gez]

Hi,

I have a table with a list of customers requiring different mail shots. I
want to hide the recipient names to avoid customers seeing who else is in
their mail shot list and yet personalize the email with a Dear
<firstname><surname>

Should I :

1) Iterate through the list calling my sendmail function each time and pass
it the customer email address and name (Lots of customers so could be time
consuming)
2) Create a dynamic distribution list - not sure how to do this in access.
(This list should not be viewable by the recipient).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Geraint
