How to get email editor from VBA in 2003?

[John Riddle]

Hi,

I've got some macros that process each sent item and prompt the user for
various actions. Everything works great. In Outlook 2000, when users send a
mail merge to clients, the Application_ItemSend event did not fire and hence
did not prompt the user to process each and every message going out of the
mail merge. We've recently upgraded to Outlook 2003 and now the users are
being prompted on each and every mail merge item being sent. Can anyone tell
me how I can check the email editor (outlook is the default email editor,
but Word is used for mail merges) so that I can bypass the macros for items
being sent through a mail merge? Or if you have a better way to skip the
Application_ItemSend event when doing a mail merge, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks,

John

Change the mail merge format to HTML and you will no longer receive prompts.
