Is there any way to do a mail-merge in Sylpheed?

I want to send text messages to a list of recipients stored in a CSV (comma-separated-values) file.  The file is structured as follows:

[******** RECIPIENTS.TXT ********]
[                                ]
[ Name,Email                     ]
[ "John Smith","john-s at advt.tv"  ]
[ "Jane Doe","jdoe at ace-tech.net" ]
[ "Joe Bloggs","jbg at elswhr.com"  ]
[                                ]
[********************************]

The email I want to send to each recipient is as follows.

[************ EMAIL *************]
[                                ]
[ To: {{Email}}                  ]
[                                ]
[ Dear {{Name}}                  ]
[                                ]
[ I am delighted to invite you   ]
[ to the annual seminar of Ace   ]
[ Technologies, to be held on    ]
[ April 1, 2099.  Please visit   ]
[ the website,                   ]
[ www.ace#tech.net/seminar for   ]
[ full details.                  ]
[                                ]
[ Regards,                       ]
[ Events Manager.                ]
[                                ]
[********************************]

Here, {{Name}} and {{Email}} are the placeholders for the respective columns in RECIPIENTS.TXT.

Is there any plugin available or known technique to send such emails from Sylpheed?
