Can you only do mail merges with Word?

I've got an email newsletter to send out in .html format that requires me to
use mail merge and personlize each one. I'm trying to figure out if I can
just use Dreamweaver (to create the .html file) and Outlook (to send) but I
can't figure out how to mail merge in Outlook. Do I have to use Word to
mail merge with my contact list?

Thanks in advance.

An HTML file is just that, so you should be able to mailmerge as an
attachment using Outlook, but if you wish to use Word (which supports HTML -
of sorts), the following FAQs may help with your quest.
