How can I email merge without using Outlook?

Hi folks

The problem I have is that the information needs to be sent via nhs.net a
secure encrypted email system approved by the UK national Health Service for
sending patient data. Whilst I realise that it is unlikely anyone has the
answer to this in relation to nhs.net I wonder if anyone knows of a way one
can send an email merge via any non Outlook program. I hope I can transfer
this method to nhs.net and thereby solve my problem.

Thank you for your time and help.

Yours faithfully,

Danny

This http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211206 seems to indicate that any mail
client/address system/whatever that can produce a csv list of addresses can
be used by Word. If your email system can provide this, then you're OK.
Ohterwise, you're probably out of luck.

Send the e-mails where? Once they are sent out of the organisation, they are
no longer secure.
Mail merge to e-mail is fraught with problems See

Thanks Guys,

I will take what you said to the techies and see if they can sort something
out. Regarding the security side, you are quite right that if the email is
sent from or to an account that is not nhs.net ie ([email protected]) then the
email would not be secure. However the nhs.net system was set up so that
emails could be sent encrypted between two nhs.net accounts so that side at
least should be fine.

Thanks again and happy computing!
