Email in Ksh using elm

I have a txt file which contains the following details.

email address date other
email address date other

from this i want to take each email address and send mail with a message and put the date in the message ( in some specific place ).

need to send mails one by one marking a copy to myself.

please help

The script is given below what i have developed. But this will only let me send the mail to all the people in the same time.

i belive a for loop can do this for me. Please help me.

TXTFILEFR="a.out"
TXTSIGN="signature2.txt"

DIRECTO="/opt/var/"
SQLDIRECTO="/opt/var/so"
SUBJECT="Your attachment"
A="a.b@log.com"
export ORACLE_SID=sid

for user in $(cut -d: -f3 a.out)
do
echo $user
echo "Hello, \n" > ${DIRECTO}/mail.out

echo "\n message1.\n" >> ${DIRECTO}/mail.out
echo "\message2.:\n" >> ${DIRECTO}/mail.out
echo "\n mesg3.:\n" >> ${DIRECTO}/mail.out

cat ${DIRECTO}/${TXTSIGN}>> ${DIRECTO}/mail.out
${DIRECTO}/mail.out

elm -s " subject line " -b $user < ${DIRECTO}/mail.out

done

log::dispatch::email

Log::Dispatch::Email(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Log::Dispatch::Email(3pm)

NAME

       Log::Dispatch::Email - Base class for objects that send log messages via email

VERSION

       version 2.32

SYNOPSIS

	 package Log::Dispatch::Email::MySender;

	 use Log::Dispatch::Email;
	 use base qw( Log::Dispatch::Email );

	 sub send_email {
	     my $self = shift;
	     my %p    = @_;

	     # Send email somehow.  Message is in $p{message}
	 }

DESCRIPTION

       This module should be used as a base class to implement Log::Dispatch::* objects that send their log messages via email.  Implementing a
       subclass simply requires the code shown in the SYNOPSIS with a real implementation of the "send_email()" method.

CONSTRUCTOR

       The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:

       o   subject ($)

	   The subject of the email messages which are sent.  Defaults to "$0: log email"

       o   to ($ or @)

	   Either a string or a list reference of strings containing email addresses.  Required.

       o   from ($)

	   A string containing an email address.  This is optional and may not work with all mail sending methods.

       o   buffered (0 or 1)

	   This determines whether the object sends one email per message it is given or whether it stores them up and sends them all at once.
	   The default is to buffer messages.

METHODS

       o   send_email(%p)

	   This is the method that must be subclassed.	For now the only parameter in the hash is 'message'.

       o   flush

	   If the object is buffered, then this method will call the "send_email()" method to send the contents of the buffer and then clear the
	   buffer.

       o   DESTROY

	   On destruction, the object will call "flush()" to send any pending email.
