WorldCast is a Windows mail merge application. You can send customized email messages to a large number of recipients at the click of a button. The messages can combine standard text with customized information for each recipient. A form letter may merge information from an existing database or from another source of data. WorldCast automatically retrieves the specific information to the fields you specify, then sends a customized e-mail message to each recipient. The application merges all the data records from the data source you specify, or allows you to select any subset of records (manually, or based on a filter).
WorldCast merges any data field in the message, by replacing the tags [field] for the corresponding fields from the recipient list.
Please notice that the term [field] above actually refers to the field name in the header of the imported data source, shown at the data panel.
The field names are shown on the header of the recipient list and can be placed in the message by typing the field name enclosed by brackets, or with the menu command Message | InsertField and then choosing the field name, or just right-clicking the mouse over the message editor.
For instance, let's assume the following data source:
