Mail merge: Can I limit how many emails are sent in a given time f
I am using Word 2003's mail merge to send personalized emails to a couple hundred customers. However, my ISP limits the number of emails I can send to about 20 per 5 minutes before they start getting stopped. I have to do this quite often, so manually reducing my email list to under twenty and sending them out every five minutes is not really an option. Any suggestions would be greatly...

If I re-assign the same...
