Hi Frank, I got the mailing out using the windows version of OO which doesn't seem to have that problem. Sending the mails manually wasn't such a good idea. >2.000 mails !!!!
I didn't let OO to send a crash report because it didn't ask me! Just all open windows disappear and the "Dokument Wiederherstellung" Dialog pops up... If I find some time, I'll try to track down this problem to a more informative point. Is there a way (maybe some hidden commandline option) to start OO to let it produce some trace / debug output ?? thanks for your help!
