Given an 'address_list' file:
==========================
m...@something.org
se...@anaddress.org
b...@somewhere.uk
and so on
==========================
and a 'standard_message' file:
=========================
Hi,
this is a test

========================
You can write a script 'test.sh' which calls on mutt to send the
'standard_message' to all on the 'address_list':
=======================
#!/bin/bash
# Usage: ./test.sh address_list 'the title' standard_message
for address in `cat "$1"`
do
neomutt -s "$2" -- $address < $3
done
======================
It might be neccessary to change neomutt to mutt. The 'test.sh' must be
made executable. And no I'm not a bash programmer but the above set up
does work.
