My workflow involves sending out a message that has content that varies for each recipient (e.g. say I was reporting homework grades to each member of a class of 40 students). I could do this painfully in the gui. However, I have a script that substitutes the appropriate numbers, name, etc. into a template to create the appropriate personalized message for each student. I would also like the script to add a separate/unique file to each outgoing message as an attachment. I might do this with the unix mail but I would really like to keep the workflow within the framework of evolution.
