# A program that takes as input two files, a mail template, and a csv file with a list of people to
# send a mail to.  The csv file is formatted:
#
#    companyname,jobtitle,firstname,lastname,phonenumber,emailaddress
#
# and the mail template can use markers such as <%= firstname %> which will get edited with information from
# the current person being mailshotted.  Basically this is a standard mail merge type thing but it actually
# send email rather than creates postal letters.
