Email mail merge
I don't seem to be able to send mail merge emails in HTML format, only Plain
text. The original text came from an HTML email that I then copied to Word, made changes and entered merge fields. When I click Merge, Electronic Mail... and the Merge to Email box comes up (To, Subject, and Format), when I click HTML and Ok, it is busy for a moment then nothing happens (ie, emails don't send). However, when I click Plain text, I can send the emails. Why is this, can anyone help with a solution?

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.

I thought that might be the case. Thanks.
