Say I have a letter that I want to send to three people whose names are stored
in a OO Calc document:

Jon Doe
Jane Doe
Chuck Norris

I create a Writer document and with Mail Merge insert the corresponding fields
into it.

When Mail Merge finally creates the output as multiple documents, it uses the
filename I enter and then adds a number at the end, e.g. when I use
"letter.odt", I get "letter_0.odt", "letter_1.odt", and so on.

Now, I e.g. would like to have the name of the people instead of "letter", so I
would use "<firstname>_<lastname>.odt" and then get "jon_doe.odt",
"jane_doe.odt" and "chuck_norris.odt".

(In case a name exists twice, OO could still append a number)
