Macros in Dynamic newsletters

I would like to personalise a Dynamic Newsletter by adding "Dear XXX" at the start. The newsletter needs to be Dynamic (i.e. exist as a page in the CMS tree) for other reasons.

According to the article below, the {%FirstName%} macro (and all other macros) are not resolved. http://devnet.kentico.com/Knowledge-Base/E-mail-Engine/Resolving-macros-in-Dynamic-Newsletter.aspx

At the end of the article is states: Note: Personalization of dynamic newsletter is possible in the out-of-box solution from version 7.0

I'm using 7.0, and have tried this feature, but it doesn't seem to pick up the macros. Can you confirm if it is supposed to work and if the feature was added or not?
