OpenOffice and mailmerge to email

[Steven Stern]

AARGH!  I spent over an hour this morning on trying to get the mail
merge wizard in OpenOffice to show a "send" button, in addition to save
and print.  The mailmerge package is installed, java is installed and
recognized, but OO just won't admit that it can do a merge to email.

Abashed and ashamed, I booted into Windows and got the necessary stuff
done in 5 minutes with Word and Outlook.  I really want this to work in
Fedora.

Help!
