Personalize e mail message from distribution list

I have a distribution list of about 12 people in my Outlook 07 contacts. Is
there a way to personalize the Dear: "" in the message from this distribution
list when I send a e mail message to this list?  Similar to mail merge in
Word.

No--one of the many reasons DL's are a poor choice for grouping recipients.

Had you used Categories instead (the intended replacement for DL's) you would  be
all set.
