I don't have Notes, but I did try out this scenario a few years back and as
far as I can tell nothing has changed, i.e. the situation is that
a. if you are distributing e-mail to other Notes users (and perhaps that
means "within your Notes organisation") you should really be doing the whole
job within Notes: that's what it's for. (But you probably know that!).
b. otherwise, you /may/ be able to merge to the Notes Client, but even if
you can achieve that, I believe that what happens is that Word creates
e-mails in Notes, but you have to go through them and send them one by one.
c. Even in order to be able to merge to e-mail, you will probably have to
ensure that the Notes client is set up as the default e-mail client on
Windows, and you may have to configure Notes to use MAPI (I can't remember
the details on this one).
d. you won't be able to do "HTML format" merges to Notes because no e-mail
client except Outlook supports it.
A visit to the IBM Notes support site suggests that e-mail merges will not
work. See the following URL (sorry, you may have to piece it together):
