[Cialug] MailMerge

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

I don't think that will do what you think it will do. Try removing the 
semi-colon after the end of the first line. Else the "unless" won't have 
much effect.

In my own code, i avoid "unless" just as strongly as i avoid "goto", and 
for the same reason: it makes the code too hard to read.
