If you are already going to code things and need it to run both on Linux and Windows then my personal choice would be Perl 5 (http://strawberryperl.com/ for Windows version) with Net::SMTP (http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/libnet-1.22/Net/SMTP.pm) for the SMTP part. Perl will also provide you with templating tools (e.g. TemplateToolkit, start with http://search.cpan.org/~abw/Template-Toolkit-2.22/lib/Template.pm and http://template-toolkit.org/) to allow you to "mail merge" constant text with dynamic data. If you don't want to use perl Net::SMTP then mutt seems most approperiate "shell-level" command to use for that, IMHO. I'll bet the Python Phanatics among us will list the Python equivalent of the above :). Hope this helps, please let us know how it went.
