Description Francesco Pagano 2018-05-15 14:20:39 UTC
Description:
I want to send by email a personalized document to a list of customers.
Following https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/3/3c/WG4211-UsingMailMerge.pdf, I created the plain document using Writer and I made the list of recipients using Calc. If I run the mail merger to create a printed version all is ok, but when I asked to send te document by email a lot of difficulties arose:
1) since I am using SMPTP_SSL, I had to make the changes described in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/scripting/source/pyprov/mailmerge.py?id=036b51dbc49b533d1db773d8627d56ab86bca487
2) each document is sent to the email address of the next row in the database
3) even if I asked to not use a greeting, a standargreeting was added on top of the email.
I am using Libreoffice for Windows (10) Version: 6.0.4.2 (x64) Build ID: 9b0d9b32d5dcda91d2f1a96dc04c645c450872bf.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a document in Writer
2. create a list in Calc
3. run the mail merge requesting to send an email to all

Actual Results:  
The email is sent to the email address of the next row

Expected Results:
The email is sent to the email address of the actual row


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I correct myself: the third point was my mistake.
Comment 3 Alex Thurgood 2018-05-17 07:00:24 UTC
Not a Base module problem generally, these bugs are reported against Writer (or the scripting component).

Dear Francesco Pagano,
Thank you for reporting the bug. To be certain the reported issue is not
related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your
Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and
re-test?

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present

The bug is still here. I have attached the master document and the mail list to verify the bug. I needed to insert a fake row "finto" to realign email address with the right owner.
Comment 9 Xisco Faulí 2019-07-31 11:55:03 UTC
A new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
