Didn't mean to strike a chord. I should have titled this semi-automatic. I agree it is not the best way to do this. We figured, with full time school and work, this wold be the quickest way to make sure everyone was sent a nice note and a picture. Like you said, the personal part would be person/family specific, not from a template. I know it's a lame excuse, but it's good perl experience for me. Thanks again for all of the useful input.
