mail merge
     
         A function of some {word processing} software
        (e.g. {Microsoft Word}) that produces multiple instances of a
        document by substituting different text strings from a
        {database} in place of certain field markers.  This is often
        done with envelopes, resumes, spam, and various other mass
        mailings.
