Using to Xinha to send email to group

I've got Xinha set up and working nicely- thanks for the easy guides.

But I have a question now. I'm wanting to use Xinha to email out newsletters. I work for an organisation that has recently changed over to linux, and the mail merge with Open Office is kinda dodgy. So I wanted to provide them with a better way to mail merge (using Xinha) which gets details from a database (email, mr/mrs, name).

Is there a way I can do this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Using to Xinha to send email to group

if you're using PHP then just get it to use the post from the textarea as the body of the message, using any str_replace's required for inserting names, etc.

this isn't really a Xinha related question unless you want a way of inserting placeholders - but I'd recommend just typing things like %NAME% where you want a name to appear, and then looking for that in the string replace.
