Actually, personalizing both the message and the attachment is a feature that I
at least wanted to request at some point before the mail merge. At my
workplace, we offer trainings in person. We use a paper sign-up sheet to verify
that the trainee attended the session in person. Then, we send them their
training certificate via e-mail. The problem is that oftentimes they do not
have personal e-mail addresses and expect that their e-mails would be sent to a
corporate inbox shared among several individuals. To personalize the e-mail AND
the attached certificate, both of which have their personal name, would be a
great feature to have.

I'm wondering if there can be an extension to support popular e-mail client
integrations for mail merge (maybe separate ones for Outlook and Thunderbird).
Outlook does not use the same format to store mail messages as most other
e-mail clients (Outlook format is MSG, general format is EML). But we don't
need hundreds of mail-client Compose windows either. The Word/Adobe integration
does not actually open Outlook. It places messages in Outlook's primary Outbox.
The messages are sent only when the user opens Outlook manually if it is not
already open.

Thank you!!!
