Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 64436
mail merge smtp error message cannot be read
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:17:43 UTC
When you use the Mail Merge wizard to create e-mail messages, you may get errors from the actual submitting through an SMTP server. The errors cannot be be read in the screen provided. The 'Status' field in the listbox only shows the first (32?) characters - and not the complete error message. This makes error handling impossible - especially because the 'test' feature in the Mail Merger wizard as well as the test feature in 'Tools -> Options -> Open Office.org Writer -> Mail Merge E-mail' say that everything works fine. I have tried to reset the column width: did not expand the error message. There is no right click "show full error" or similar functionality. As there is no further way to discover why the Mail Merge fails, then I'd classify this as a defect. Please extend to capture the full error message in either of these ways: 1. put the message into a column, which can be resized 2. add a 'show full error message' as a right click/double click function. Plese refer to attachment to see screen dump.
