Hello, 

I use the SF API to query for distribution lists, contacts, and mail templates to provide custom mass mail capability. 

The next step is to add support for personalization, ie: Hello  {!Contact.Name} or {!Lead.Name} or {!User.Name}. 

I found connection.Merge(mergeRequest[]) method, but not quite sure if this is what I am looking for, and google is not giving me anything obvious so far.  

Can you steer me in the right direction? 

I want to take a email template, and merge in contact, user etc information, and get a personalized email template string back, so I could pass it to my custom mail program. 

thanks!
