Email Template. How to insert dynamic data into email message ?

Hello, Sirs.

 

I have such Email template:

 

Dear {!Contact.FirstName},
Secret code is - {!??????????}
 
I must insert into email message my specific text message ( instead ???????? ). 
 
 
 
Apex Code:
//AcID - Contact ID

//Eml - Email Template ID	
 
	Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

	mail.setReplyTo('support@force.com');
	mail.setSenderDisplayName('Salesforce Support');
	mail.setTargetObjectId(AcId);
	mail.setTemplateId(EmlId);
	Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { mail });
 
Which way I can do it ? 
 
Thank you.

Check out page 428 of the Developer's Guide, it describes how this works and has code examples. The idea is that you can only use merge fields from the recipient object and the related-to object.

Ryan - Must one use a VisualForce email template to merge data from a custom object? It seems like this should be feasible with a regular HTML template and some Apex code too, but I can't find documentation on it anywhere... Any suggestions? Perhaps I should just get on with it and use a VisualForce Template.
