437265	2006-03-10 22:51:00	I tried doing a mail-merge from Word to Outlook (2003) - it worked fine, but Outlook's security seemed to kick in so I had a delay of 5 seconds then I had to click YES for every email I created... something to do with "another program is trying to use Outlook to send emails". Is there any way to turn this off, as I have a number of emails being created, and it'll take ages to wait 5 seconds then click YES for every email. Might almost be faster to create new emails and paste the contents in over and over. Mike.	Mike (15)

Unless each Word doc has personal details, as you can do in MailMerge, I normally and regularly just send an email to a couple of group addresses and make the Word doc an attachment. One message, one attachment and foolproof - every club member who has email gets a copy. My server even tells me if one of them has recently changed address without notifying me - this happened this week.	Scouse (83)

The functionality is there to do it, just the security part gets in the way (I mean it works if I sit there and wait the 5s and press yes for every email... just takes ages)... I'd prefer to just be able to turn that security "feature" off - even if it is just temporary. Mike.	Mike (15)
