    I need to send a template email to about 700 email addresses, and need to personalize each email for the recipient's name, position, and employer. In addition, I have one attachment that I need to send to all recipients. (This is for a research survey.)

    I'm working on Mac OS 10.6 and don't have MS Outlook. Normally I use Gmail for all my accounts, but not sure how to do a mail merge with gmail. Is there a way I can upload my list of recipients and associated fields to a Google Doc or Google Contacts, then create an email template that includes the attachment?

    Are there any other solutions on the Mac that I could use?

    You can do this with GMAIL and Google Docs, but I'd advise against it. Pumping out that many emails at once is gonna get you flagged as a spammer. I suggest you find a email service like MailChimp and import your email list there.

    How do you detach or sever attachments from emails in Opera?

    In Thunderbird, you can easily right-click the file(s) and delete or detach. The message remains intact, but the cruft of unwanted file(s) is now gone.

    Is there a way to carry out this same, or a similar, operation in Opera Mail?

    Opera 9.63 on Windows XP (but open to methods on other versions/OS)

    Not to my knowledge. Not a bad idea for a feature though.
