Mozilla Thunderbird E-mail Application for e-mail mail merge in Wo

[Tara]

Can the Mozilla Thunderbird E-mail Application Version 2.0.0.9 be used to
perform an e-mail mail merge in Word 2003? All of the instructions discuss
using Outlook but there is a note that states:

Note Your system must include a MAPI (MAPI: The Microsoft interface
specification that allows different messaging and workgroup applications
(including e-mail, voice mail, and fax) to work through a single
client.)-compatible e-mail program, such as Microsoft Outlook.

Is Mozilla Thunderbird compatible? Thank you for any information you can
provide.
Thanks,
Tara

According to some of the information at:

http://www.google.com/custom?cx=003...lient=pub-0651448570352947&channel=1541744254

Thunderbird supports simple MAPI, but it is buggy.

There is some specific information about its use for mail merge at:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mail_merge

but it talks about using OpenOffice rather than Word.
