Word merge to outlook breaks clickable links

I'm merging a link into word for sending out through
outlook. Because the link is a merge field, not something
typed in, word never gets a chance to format it as a
clickable link before the merged document is placed in
Outlook's outbox.

I can manually edit the resulting e-mails sitting in the
outbox (when my computer is off the network) so that I
trigger the format event that turns the URL into a
clickable link. But I don't want to click into each of
2000 e-mails and do this manually.

Can you think of a command in outlook (or vb?) that would
go through all the e-mails in outlook and trigger the
formatting event that turns URLs into links?

THANK YOU!

Office version? This was fixed in an Office XP service pack.
