First let me say I don't know the first thing about
programming, and we are a small enough company that we don't have a
programmer available. That being said I'm looking for help in the
following area, and I think this would be an appropriate venue for
this discussion.
I'm looking for a basic add-in that would do the following:
Read a data card for specific variables, for example any variable that begins with "x".
The value of those variables would all be a username, for example, chinman.
Send a simple email message via the messaging system to all those variables @domainname.com
Flag a secondary variable as "used".
To me it seems like it should be pretty simple, but like I said I'm no programmer. Does anyone have any suggestions, or anything similar already in place?

If you look in the API help you can find some simple examples of reading a value from a file's datacard and you can use this template as a starter to write the add-in program:

And you can use transition actions to set variables on the data cards pretty easily... I think there was a good example of that in the administration guide for PDM.
Of course, in PDM 2009 you have dynamic notifications built-in so you can create a list of users that can be emailed pretty easily in there.
