Yes. I was really referring to the personalization of
HTML e-mail messages on a mass scale. It can still be done;
just not nicely done. The ascii portions can be personalized.
And too, I am referring to personalization of the message body
rather than just the to address or subject line.
The html cannot since it begins as an attached file.

I have used it on semi large ascii mass mailings and with the
multipart/alternative version as well. I haven't noticed any
bugs to date. It is slow during that process but I would expect
that of any program processing such a large request. It should
also be noted though that I use a local mail server for this
type of thing. So the send isn't nearly as lengthy as it could
be. And there is no need to send in batches. If I sent them all
at once to an external mail server I'd likely run into a memory
error. Thanks for the advice though.
