* duplicate form letters to many recipients: if you come across a stack of form letters (same content) addressed to many people, catalog those as one record with title "Letter from XXX to multiple recipients".

Add genre term "form letters". | * duplicate form letters to many recipients: if you come across a stack of form letters (same content) addressed to many people, catalog those as one record with title "Letter from XXX to multiple recipients".

Example: **Pelé** in title and name elements and **Pele** in abstract. | * names/words with accents should be encoded with the accent characters.
