Merge from external data

[Wowbagger]

I am running Office/Outlook XP on an XP Pro system

I have an excel spreadsheet (or csv file) with 22 rows of data arranged as
follows:

recipient(s), subject text, brief message

Each row represents one message to be sent.

The recipients may or may not be in my contacts list.

The subject text should appear in the subject line of the message.

The brief message should appear in the body of the message.

Is there a quick and easy way to generate and send the messages using this
source data?

Thank you

No, there's no way to use this built into Office. Word's email mail merge capability does not include the ability to provide a subject line. You would either need to use Outlook and Excel automation code or a third-party tool -- see http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.htm#massmail.
