Making emails is exactly what mailMaker does: using a simple and easy to use interface, mailMaker lets you enter recipients by hand or pick them from your Mac OS X Address Book, write a message and then create a mail for each recipient in your email program, ready to be sent.
While this gives you the option to preview and personalize each message, this "manual" delivery is also really cumbersome for larger lists. And, talking of personalization, unfortunately mailMaker can't use Address Book fields other than email address and name to automatically merge variables in your message template with field content. The message editor in mailMaker, while sporting the useful Mac OS X spell checking, lacks advanced formatting capabilities.
So, all in all, mailMaker makes mailing groups a little easier — but it's a little little.
