--- Comment #7 from Andreas Säger <[email protected]> ---
menu:File>Send>... calls the installed mail client to start a new email with
the current document attached. If the password is stored anywhere, it is stored
in the mail client where it is not our business.

You can derive multiple text documents from a serial letter
(menu:Tools>MailMergeWizard) and send them either to a printer, to files or to
a built-in simple mail client. AOO stores one or two mail server passwords when
you finish the mail merge wizard in email mode.
The password can be used to send _arbitrary_ mail through another persons mail
server. In certain cases (SMPT after POP) AOO also prompts for the ingoing mail
password. Then you find everything to send and receive another persons mail in
the AOO registrymodifications.xml which is a perfect opportunity for identity
theft.
Quick solution: always prompt for the password.
