This is a limitation of Office 2000. For a workaround, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm

Note also that as html can carry malicious code may users will have set
Outlook not to display in anything but plain text. Others (like me) will
dump any unsolicited message containing an attachment before it ever reaches
Outlook. Plain text will ensure that more people may see your spam message.
