mail merge to send emails

Question

mail merge to send emails

I want to create customized email messages to individuals in a group. I'm using the Mail.app for my primary email client and my contacts are grouped in Address Book.

I have both MSWord and Pages. Word only will generate an email through Outlook and will only address the email using the contacts list in Outlook. This would require me copying lists into Microsoft. I don't want to get these lists out of sync.

Pages doesn't seem to have a way to output the merged documents into email messages.

What am I missing here?

Pages-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

You're not missing anything. Pages can't merge to e-mail.

Why would Apple leave out a key feature that is needed by so many people? I'm trying to decide whether to buy Pages today, and the ability to mail merge to email could have been a deciding factor. Now I have to stay with MS Word/Outlook. 🙂

None of us as other users can even guess at why features are or aren't in any software. I suggest you leave feedback for the Pages team regarding this. You can find it under the Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback. That takes you to the same page as this link.
