+You can do this easily without notmuch. You need a locally configured\r
+MTA such as sendmail or exim (which provides sendmail alias) and then\r
+run something like:\r
+\r
+    cat people | while read EMAIL NAME; do\r
+      sendmail -t <<EOF\r
+    From: Me <me@xample.com>\r
+    To: $EMAIL\r
+    Subject: Foobar\r
+     \r
+    Hello $NAME!\r
+    ...\r
+    EOF\r
+    done\r
+\r
+BR\r
