Under OpenOffice.org, it can not be done at this stage. > So far what I did was to unzip the JavaMail package under C:\javamail > and set the class path under Tools -> Options -> Java to where I have > the mail.jar file. I did the same for the activation.jar. I have tried to set this up using at least 5 different methods of configuration including classpaths (inside and out of OOo), java paths, library locations etc, all to no avail. As I mentioned, the issue is to do with a java class that is only available in the StarOffice package currently. Alternatively, try the macro I mentioned (MailMergeTest.sxw).
