WubMail
=======
WubMail is a small command line tool to send emails to using a template and a list of emails.
Install
-------
```sh
$ gem install wubmail
```
Example
-------
users.txt:
```csv
email,name,sex
[email protected],Jack,male
[email protected],Gwen,female
[email protected],Ianto,male
```
welcome.txt:
```erb
From: Sunny
To: <%= name %> <<%= email %>>
Subject: Hello <%= name %>!
Hello <%= name %>,
You are one hell of a cute <%= sex == "female" ? "girl" : "boy" %>!
```
Then type in a terminal:
```sh
$ wubmail welcome.txt users.csv
```
And it will print out an example. Send it to everybody by adding the `-s` argument. That's it!
Answers
-------
### How do I add variables in the message?
Just create new columns in your csv. You may use any column name you want as long as it can be a Ruby variable name.
### What can I put in my email?
The message is parsed using erb, which means you can put any amount of Ruby you'd like in it, between `<%` and `%>`.
### How do I add headers?
Just add lines under From, To and Subject.
Another example

friends.csv:
```csv
email,arrival_time,ps
[email protected],18
[email protected],16
[email protected],16
[email protected],18,PS: Don't be late this time!
[email protected],18,PS: Don't forget to bring one of your favorite recipes.
