Evolution is supposed to be the "OutLook Killer". I use Evolution, but
have never used Outlook to be able to compare. So, I just checked, using
the mailmerge function, OO writer picks up on that I use evolution and
will import an addressbook, from it. Is that what you need? I'm
supposing that it would proceed and use evolution to send the email.
Right off I cannot think of any group that I want to email bomb, in
order to test it out.  :) Ric
