Default Ability to Use Word Mail Merge to Email Multiple Recipients

This has likely been suggested numerous times but I would like to add my to
emphasize the importance of this function.

One serious functionality that is lacking from Word mail merge is the
ability to send a record in a merged document by email to multiple email
addresses.

For example, it is very important to be able to send out an identical email
to a client that has multiple email addresses.

There are, I believe, some macros that can circumvent this issue. However,
Word mail merge is one of the primary bulk email tools of Microsoft Dynamics
CRM, and the use of macros in that environment is not feasible. Therefore,
this functionality is particularly important for Microsoft Dynamics CRM users
who rely on Word mail merge as their primary bulk email method.

Ideally, it would be possible to include multiple email addresses, separated
by semi-colons, in the email field used by Word mail merge to send out
emails. If there is only one email address, only one email is sent out for
that record. If there are multiple email addresses, multiple identical emails
are sent out for that record.

Sincerely,
Kyle
