Why not foxus on just the part you think you are better off using python, namely personalization ?
Create personalized files and send them with your trusted mailx solution ?
For 30 years I've used a bash script using mailx to send messages to a list of recipients. They have no salutation to personalize each one. Since I want to add that personalized salutation I decided to write a python script to replace the bash script.
Rich,
You may want to broaden your perspective a bit when people make suggestions.
Karsten did not spell out a full design and should not need to.
But consider this as a scenario.
You want to send (almost) the same message to one or more recipients.
So call a program, perhaps some variant on a shell script, that does some prep work such as maybe creating a temporary or working directory/folder.
Had one copy of your message ready in a file somewhere, Have a way to get a list of recipients intended and the file or files containing enough info to link email addresses to human names and anything else such as their
preferred pronoun or address.
