You can enable personalization for the list. If you don't see the
'personalize' settings on the Non-digest options list admin page, you
or your provider need to enable it by putting

OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes

in mm_cfg.py. Then you can put something like

Dear %(user_name)s,

in msg_header, but note that this will only work well if the messages
are plain text with no attachments. If the message is HTML, the header
will be inserted in a separate MIME part which almost certainly will
not give the result you want.
