I have looked but am confused. What are the prerequisites for using the
snippet?
Another question, why does the code as it sits appear to duplicate using
the letter mailmerge wizard (AutoPilot) What I was expecting was
something like this (pseudo code)
1. Extract email address and other fields from database
2. Prepare body of message with personalization
3. Send message to email address that was extracted above.
Am I reading the code wrong?
