Emailing and Mail Merge From Outlook Using Word

S

srm

I'm using Outlook and Word 2003. I start my mail merge in Outlook
using the "Mail Merge Contacts" dialog (select contact, existing file
and merge to email).

The first question I have is there anyway for the "Message subject
line" in the "Mail Merge Contacts" dialog from within Outlook to
remember what the last subject was that I typed in? I don't use a
permanent file. It doesn't seem to remember the subject from merge to
merge.

The second question I have is I select the "Merge to E-mail" option
from the merge toolbar in Word. It does carry over the subject line I
entered into the "Mail Merge Contacts" dialog. This seems to always
default to HTML format. Is there anyway to make this defualt to
"Plain text". I do not want to send emails via HTML due to the fact I
don't always know how the email is going to appear on the receiving
end.

I can use the Mail Merger Helper which seems to only send in "Plain
text format". Is that correct?
