HTML email mail merge to Outlook Express

[Hilary Sillis]

I'm doing a Word 2002 email mailmerge using contact information in an Access
database. My default message program is Outlook Express - I don't use
Outlook.

My problem is this. I set up the mailmerge doc, select my recipients, then
click on the 'merge to email' button, choose HTML, email address field,
email subject and Click OK. The document looks as though it's whizzing
through the selected recipients list, but no emails are sent to my outbox.
If I change the email format to plain text, then the messages are sent. Can
the HTML option only be used with Outlook, or is there something I can do to
make it work with Outlook Express?

Thanks.

Hilary
