Description R. Unkefer 2015-03-31 17:27:23 UTC 
In past releases, we have used Mailmerge heavily, and rely on the ability to exclude recipients on the fly. This is suddenly broken, which is causing a big problem.

Our data source is a query from a LibreOffice Database using a JDBC connection to MySQL.

Symptom: When we page through the document and click the checkbox for "Exclude this Recipient," the box is checked, but a letter is generated for that person anyway, even though the "Exclude" box is checked.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this.

Jan-Marek: one for you?

        Make UNO and wizard mail merge use same function.
    
        Instead of MergeDocuments and MergeMailFiles duplicating largely the
        same functionality, the only user of MergeDocuments (MM wizard) now
        uses MergeMailFiles.
