There's been a lot of changes in respect of MailMerge with LibreOffice
5.2 onwards and I've been caught out by some of these changes and raised
bug reports for -
bug 102951 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102951>
for the MailMerge wizard which has been resolved as just a change of the
MailMerge GUI being split;
bug 102010 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102010>
which is still waiting for a fix
Anyway, I've moved on and done some testing of the SendMail part of
MailMerge and encountered what appears to be a race condition. In that
if I generate a MailMerge for 2 recipients -
1. the email for the second recipient appears to be never sent and
definitely never ever received.
2. the success of the email for the first recipient is that it always
looks like it's been sent but mostly it's never received. When it is
received it is occasionally corrupted.
However if I put in 2 sleeps in the file
sw/source/ui/dbui/mmoutputtypepage.cxx as per this git diff, below, I
consistently see the emails being sent and received successfully. This
would appear to suggest that it's thread related though I have no
knowledge of threads so I could be way of the mark here.
Unrelated, I've done some changes to the file mailmerge.py to enable me
to send messages through the "mail.btinternet.com" smtp server so it
would be good to discuss these changes with someone. Any suggestions as
to who?
For the suspected race condition should I raise a bug with my findings
or wait to discuss with someone more knowledgeable?
