You may need to change the setting of MM's 
OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION configuration variable in mm_cfg.py 
for the personalize option to show up on the web admin GUI. Adding the 
following should do it:

OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes

Be aware that there is a performance hit with personalized mail which 
is why it isn't enabled by default.

If you are prepared to take the hit then you might as well turn on 
VERPing for these messages (it effectively comes with no additioanl 
performance impact with personalized delivery) and get the benefit of 
more precise bounce handling. Add this to mm_cfg.py:

VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = Yes
