email merge in publisher

I created a document for email merge. Merge fields in place, pick
recipients, merge, they all show fine on the screen, when I send, the
recipient receives and the merge field names show in the brackets and the
persons name is not there. It shows on the publisher screen as the merged
name, once sent just the merge field in brackets shows up. HELP

There is a lot of help here for email merges.

Most folks do not accept HTML emails by default, you would be better served
sending your publication as a PDF attachment.

Or take a look at Tools, Options, Web tab, Check *Send entire publication as a
..jpeg image...*

Try creating your email in Outlook, it might do better.

If you have 2007 Microsoft has a save as PDF add-in.
