Re: Email mail merge

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You can only merge e-mail as plain text or with html attachments. You cannot
currently merge to html format with Word. It is worth noting that you have
no control over how messages are viewed and many experienced users will have
their mail readers set to view only plain text.
