If I had a script that's been working for 30 years, I'd probably just use Python to do the personalizing and let the rest of the bash script do the rest, like it always has. The Python program would pipe or send the personalized messages to the rest of the bash program. Something in that ballpark, anyway.
Thomas, A bash shell script looks easier for me and more promising. Using a while loop (one for the name file the other for the address file), and sed for putting the name at the head of the message replacing a generic placeholder should work with the existing for loop script.
