We known that many users needs personalized content. Current version of 
Sympa allow this only using the "remind" command (you can rewrite the 
remind.tpl in list admin section). We will do something regarding this 
topic. Some guys ask to be able to parse a message using vars extracted 
from some external database ; this seems quite difficult to do , maybe 
we will star with some more simple features.
