Hello Andreas

I have offered a bounty of £20 to get the bug fixed. If others can join me
offering a bounty, maybe the bug would get fixed sooner. I will pay the money to
the person who submits a patch accepted by the OO project which solves the bug.
Patch to be submitted before end of June, I will pay via Paypal on receipt of an
email evidencing the accepted patch.

We must remember that even though this bug is annoying and very old, there are
still likely bugs in OO which have a higher priority. And, IMO, it is only since
V2.04 that the mail merge functionality in OO became sufficiently bug-free to be
of general use. Apart from usability issues, this, as far as I am concerned is
the last real bug with the OO mail merge, resulting in this bug being
conspicuous. I guess this bug can't live for more than 6 months.

nn; I know you don't have enough time currently to work on the bug. If the bug
were unassigned/ marked as new, is it be more or less likely someone who has
time will pick it up?

To put it another way, if the bug is marked started, and assigned to you, might
that actually stop someone else working on it? I don't have experience of the OO
BTS like you do, so this question is asked with naivety and I value your opinion
on this matter.

Are there any major overhauls of the OO code base planned which may result in
the re-coding of the mail merge functions and hence give us a different
selection of bugs and perhaps solve this one?
