Mail Merge to Email HTML problems

[Jim]

I am running Office XP Standard and Outlook Express 6 is
my default email program. When I create a mergeable
document in Word and merge to email, I can successfully
send the document if I choose the option of sending it as
a text only file, but if I choose the HTML option it
doesn't give me any error messages, but it doesn't send
the email either.

I've looked on several newsgroups and websites and cannot
find an answer to this problem. Does anyone have any
ideas?

Does it work if you have Outlook set as the default mailer? That's the
preferred configuration.
