I'm wondering if it is possible to merge drupal cck information that is user specific into CiviMail messages.

Are there any tokens that currently pull out drupal data?

Ideally, it would be great to create a new customizable CiviMail token that would insert data from a view that takes the user as an argument for filtering.

No, but adding that extension is probably quite easy to do (if you dont care a lot about efficiency). I suspect to make it efficient would be some more work (i.e. extract data for all contacts/users in bulk)

would be a good community contribution. I suggest u adopt a good naming scheme that the code could filter on, so cck.FIELD_NAME is probably appropriate

You might want to take a look at the Drupal Token module for some ideas or maybe even a starting point

http://drupal.org/project/token

Tokens are small bits of text that can be placed into larger documents via simple placeholders, like %site-name or [user]. The Token module provides a central API for modules to use these tokens, and expose their own token values.

Note that Token module doesn't provide any visible functions to the user on its own, it just provides token handling services for other modules.
