[PLUG] mailx question

   I use mailx to distribute newsletters to individuals in named lists. That
list is then passed to mailx on the command line, along with the message and
a subject line in double quotation marks. I want to learn if I can also add
an individual greeting (specifically, the recipient's name) to the body of
the mail.

   The man page seems to suggest that a mailx guru could use the -S option to
assign these names to a variable but I don't know how this would be done.

   Has anyone here used mailx like this and can offer me suggestions. Or, are
there other resources that might have examples of what I want to do?

TIA,

Rich
