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?

Instead of MergeDocuments and MergeMailFiles duplicating largely the same functionality, the only user of MergeDocuments (MM wizard) now uses MergeMailFiles.
