Mail Merge to E-mail with XP and Outlook 2003

[Jason Pintok]

I am trying to use mail merge to generate e-mails from
addresses in an Excel spreadsheet. I am using Office XP
and have just upgraded Outlook to 2003. The problem I am
encountering is that when the final merge is executed,
Word looks like it is preparing the e-mails but they are
nowhere to be found. I assume that the e-mails would
appear in the Outbox in Outlook 2003. Is it possible
that this is not working because I am now using Outlook
2003? I do not encounter any errors during the process.

Thanks in advance for the help,

I am actually having the same problem. I've found that I
can get the merged email to send if I go back into the
settings and send it as a plain text instead of HTML.
I'm hoping to find someone in this dicussion group that
can help me with sending it with HTML, but if plain text
is sufficient for what you're doing, that will probably
solve your problem.
