Hi Doris,

Not all available tools deal with the Security Warning correctly. Most tools
that do mention that in the product description (as they are proud of it
like they should).

I'm using the Mail Merge Toolkit from MapiLab because of the tight Office
integration and it allows me to send attachments with the mail as well.

If you decide to order use "4PM76A8" to get a discount
