Default disable tge warning about email safety in mail merge

Too true

I agree that it is annoying. Unfortunately,
a. this dialog box was introduced to make it more difficult for malware to
send e-mails automatically using the addressbook in Outlook. So it is a
"fix" for another problem.
b. I imagine there is a lot of discussion on the web about whether /that/
problem could have been avoided in the first place and/or whether it could
have been fixed in a less irritating way. I imagine it probably could, but
I'm not going to start adding to that discussion here, mainly because...
c. I don't work for Microsoft and can't do anything to change the
situation.

I have this same annoying 'problem'. Surely Microsoft should have a fix
for
this issue between their two programs and not expect us to spend more on
another program to run their software more efficiently? Unless they have
shares in Express-Clickyes.......????????

1. For Word versions prior to 2007, there's a free utility called Express
Clickyes that answers this dialog for you - see

2. However, they charge for their "Pro" version that works with 2007

3. If you use the HTML format merge to email you will probably be able to
avoid these messages. (No, I don't understand why the potentially more
dangerous HTML mail is allowed through).

I am sending an email to many by mnail merge and when I start the
mailmerge
I gert a warning about the programme accessing my email addresses. I
have
to
check the box to allow access for 10 minutes and then check to allow to
access each of the email adresses. This is taking ages as I have 2,000
to
send out.

How can I automatically allow access to all - or turn off the warning
in
some way?
