What I have done in this case is create the body of email as a text with place holders for names, emails, etc. For example,
you can enclose the name MR.BLOGGS as [TO_PERSON] and MARY SMYTH as [CONTACT_PERSON]. Then using STRTRAN, at run time, the code replaces the place holder with a value from a field. It works for me.

HTH.
