Not really if you consider the meaning of 'mailmerge'. For testing I
recommend printing to a virtual PDF printer so you don't waste
ink/paper. Now, of course, had you advised as to which OS (Operating
System) you are using, then perhaps I/we can recommend a virtual PDF
printer. But let me take a guess from:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5)
Gecko/20091204 Thunderbird/3.0

So I'd recommend installing

Perhaps a PortableApps issue? I'll be happy to try to reproduce off-list
if you don't mind sending me the applicable files directly.
