I'm not sure what you mean by "random text file", but here's how I do it.
1. Make sure $edit_headers set so that you can modify the To: field in
your editor.
2. using your editor:
2a. read in the file with the email address in it
2b. join the addresses into one line, separating them by a command and
a space (", ")
2c. put this line on the To: line.
3. send your message
1 and 3 are trivial, #2 assumes you have a good editor and know how to use
it properly. You are using Vim right? =-)

ObligatoryMusicNote: Found a used copy of a King's X Dogman CD in a local
music store yesterday. Haven't listened to this one in
almost a decade! (What ever happened to my cassette I
wonder...) Listening to it now, it rocks...
