I need to periodically send similar emails with Gmail. The same recipient(s), the same subject line, modify body manually before sending. Example: monthly update.
"Canned responses" are almost doing what I want, but they are not saving the recipient.
Is this feature available in Gmail or is there extension allowing for this? I can probably create "bookmarklet" (JavaScript + mailto), but this looks like too "hacky" solution for what looks like simple core feature.
This feature is available in Google Chrome extension Deskun. You can save the sender, also add CC, BCC in the template.
If you have a message to send to many people via email that you want personalized for each recipient, use mail merge. You can create a batch of personalized email messages that are formatted identically and use the same text and graphics. Only specific sections of the email message vary and are personalized. Mail merge—unlike broadcasting a message to a group of people—makes each recipient of the message the sole recipient.

I would suggest SendGrid.
It's a website made to send emails to hundreds of people but it would work for you as for a newsletter
If you have a student email address you can get more than 500 emails per month (I don't remember the numbers)
I have an account on there but I haven't used it yet.
