Default mailmerge to email using Lotus Notes or Eudora, no Outlook

I don't have Eudora here, but there's a document about COM Automation in
Eudora 4 at

http://www.eudora.com/pdf_docs/automation.pdf

which may give you some clues about how to adapt the macro for VBA that
appeared earlier in this thread, assuming that the COM object is still there
in Eudora 6.2.

I'm having the same problem but with Eudora 6.2 . Has anyone figured
out a solution using Eudora??

Thanks.

Where I work, every machine has Microsoft Office 2003 (every
application in the bundle except for Outlook). The default email
client
is Lotus Notes 6, but we also have licenses for Eudora.

We need to create a mailmerge using Word 2003 grabbing the data from
from an Excel file or a flat file from a mainframe. This is no
problem.
We can print thousands of letters at a time (or as much as the printer
can support).

The problem that we have is that we cannot do mailmerge to email. The
email option does not come up in the menu that Word 2003 offers.

The Novell/Windows administrator says that the installation of Outlook
includes certain files (DLLs most likely) that allow Word to
communicate with the default email client, in our case Lotus Notes 6.
The problem here is we cannot give users Outlook even it is hidden or
somewhat disabled (internal BS plus all the vulnerabilities that
Outlook has).

How can we make Word talk to an email client can send the thousands of
emails that we need to send.

cheers,
Frank
