E-Mail Merge With Word 2007 and Vista's Windows Mail

Unfortunately I do not know any other way to ungrey that option. My only
suggestions are:
a. double-check that you have created the correct registry entries
b. restart Windows and Word
c. if your copy of Word/Office is still under warranty, contact Microsoft
support directly (we are just volunteers).

Did you ever figure out how to make it send as HTML?
