Is this the one that uses the email module such as XStmp XCC XBcc etc?
Hi,
First, thanks a lot for your work with mailmerge. Mailmerge is a most important component of office suites.
I experienced a problem with cc. cc recipient are well written inside the message, and most mailers recognize them, but the message is not sent to cc recipients and bcc recipients (it should be !).
Only a small and obvious modification has to be done in mailmerge.py to correct this, and I did it for myself :
line
self.server.sendmail(sender, recipients, msg.as_string())
should be replaced by
self.server.sendmail(sender, truerecipients, msg.as_string())
I wrote a bug report, and there was a discussion and a agreement about it. This was more than one year ago. I just upgraded to 2.0.4 (debian etch, newly released OOo), and could see that the very small change was not applied.
I consider as very useful to have self copies of mailmerge operations (otherwise you remain blind about what really happened.. while there may also be a mistake somewhere, you should be able to know about it).
I do not know how does the issue management system practically work for OOo, I feel it slow (such a small correction !). May be you can help ?
Best regards,
JMM
