The Text message is displayed for Text only email viewers and the HTML message is displayed for HTML capable email viewers. I'm using a separate CGI script to create the multipart email message which is then sent to my distribution list. This process works great.

No, not externally.  IOW, Mailman doesn't mailmerge.

But if you wanted to hack some Python, you could probably make it work. 
I plan on working on a more efficient personalization implementation for
the next release.  I'll keep an eye on making it extensible (but only
through Python).
