How can I add user profile fields to my mailpress mailout

Question

I want to be able to send emails to my subscribers but reference their name in the email and possibly some other profile fields. Can I do this using mailpress?

So for example. I want each email sent out to start with.

Hi Tom,

Hi,

I notice that you can add custom fields but couldn't work out how to relate that to a user profiles field at the time.

This page seems to have the variables you need:

If you use $args->toname in your email code somewhere, that should display their name.

Please note that I just skimmed through the site and found this, so I can't guarantee it works since I don't know what your current code looks like nor have I used the plugin, but it looks like this is what you're looking for.
