Using Email Merge Server Object

Sending email messages with Email Merge Server Object is very similar to using a regular email client:
Fill in all the fields and hit the Send button.
You can compose the entire message in the built-in editor or paste HTML from a template.
Insert variables using the Recordset fields toolbar, format fonts and colors, insert tables, links and images.
Flip between the Code and the Design Views if needed, preview the message in a separate window to ensure it looks as expected.
When satisfied click the Send button.
You can send a test message to your (or any) email address to observe the outcome.
