Please clarify the emphasis or significance of a cover letter

Please kindly clarify the emphasis or significance of a cover letter in one's job search.  It is no secret that the majority of hiring companies use a software program to screen thousands of resumes each day.  I often suspect if a cover letter would survive the " junk mail / spam mail " screening, let alone made it to the recruiter's desk to meet the eyes of the hiring manager.

I would like to think it is like printing money. You just print more to keep everyone happy.

The Cover Letter is basically a formal introduction. It's a professional Hello that may give exact detail on why you are qualified for the job.

I would guess that would depend on the company, but why not create a SPECTACULAR cover letter and find out?
