In O2003, does it keep the HTML format when merging (assuming I'm
using W2003 to create my email)?

When merging, it seems the merge options are not saved. For example,
in O2002, when I merged to a file (Word document) the next time I
merged to the same document it remember it was a form letter (Document
type:), email (Merge to:), and subject. Has this capability been
removed?

I'm assuming attachments when merging is still not supported.
Correct?

Thank you.

From within O2002 (contacts folder) I selected the contacts, Mail
merge, existing document and in the "Merge options" section (Mail
Merge Contacts dialog) it remembered Email (merge to) and the subject
line. After I installed O2003, I tried the same process and the Email
(merge to) was not saved nor was the subject line saved.
