mail merging formatted content

I am using Outlook 2000 SR1 and Word 2000 SR1.

I have an email message that I need to send to everyone in my
contacts folder. I know I can create a distribution list and place
it in the bcc: field, with my own email in the To: field, but I
need each recipient to see only their own email, not mine or
others, in the To: field. So I tried Mail Merge. The body of my
message contains some formatted text and also few images. I
changed my Outlook's Mail Format as HTML and MSWord as my email
editor. When I send the messages through mail merge, the
receiver's mail is not formatted, and also no images are seen.

But, when I send a mail individually to them, the receiver
receives the mail in HTML format.

I also checked the recipient's property "Send email using plain
text only" and it is checked OFF.

Can some one please suggest me what is going wrong here? Can any VBA code help me?
 
You could certainly write VBA code to iterate the contacts Items collection
and put information into Word programmatically or just create mail items
individually for each contact, format the messages and send them. Look at
www.outlookcode.com for lots of code samples, including the ones at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formatmsg.htm for formatting messages.

For mail merge questions post in a general Outlook newsgroup.
