Perhaps I need to be more precise!!
What I've been doing for some years has been to send some 1800 2-page letters
in a shot. What change are the addresses of the recipients and some small
parts of the text according to certain circumstances. Years ago I dismissed
the mail-merge capabilities of MS-Word because it was unable to deal with
that amount of letters. So I tailored a *-sty file for my letters and started
to use latex with the textmerge. Bingo, it was THE solution!
Now I want to give ConTeXt a chance. I mean that a Context doc seems to me
more "readable" and "intuitive" than latex. So I would have a go with ConTeXt
to solve the same problem.
Ciao
Vittorio
