Now how do we append the name of the contact in the message of the mail, e.g., Dear We are sending you this message..... Suppose there are ten contacts in a group. I want to send the mail which would llook like individual to each one of them (I will choose BCC) but to make it personalize, I would like to include the name of the one in the mail that goes to that particular contact. How can I achieve this? This far, so good. Now how do we append the name of the contact in the message of the mail, e.g.,

Dear

Still I think that there are very good reasons for addressing them.

I must offer a critical set of remarks. This recipe does little good for those seeking to utilize the notion of a distribution group as they've come to know it from the context of other e-mail clients. The pared-down approach of only having a single recipient as comprised by a *group* does nothing to answer the inevitable and relevant questions about how to reproduce familiar functionality in the field of the GMail client. I found this posting while looking for a recipe for using the GUI to name a single recipient and have each and every member of a user-defined group receive a message that appears to be addressed to a single group name with no explicated CC or TO field constituents. Perhaps you can add this, or revise the post with an appeal to the reading community to make it less self-evident than the GMail interface itself. Thank you for the starting point!
