Answer 2

It may help to decompose this from the desired email[s] backwards to design your data. Depending on the volume of recipients, variety of messages, you may want to put this on a database.

Your current program sounds like it could be made into a function to actually send the email, just make the various parts of the email variables that can be passed in, and can be called by iterating code that goes over the maillist, messages and date.

This sounds like something that you may want to write some other programs for updating, and maintaining the data. Overall, this doesn't sound exceedingly hard, but it is definitely a non-trivial project.
