MailMerge is supposed to work something like this

1.
the user starts and then completes the Tools->Mail Merge Wizard. Presses the
"Finish" button to complete this process.

2.
the user starts the MailMerge process by clicking on the "E-Mail Messages"
button on the MailMerge toolbar 

3.
the user is then presented with the "E-Mail merged document"  dialog which is
then completed as required. When complete the user will press the "Send
Documents" button. This sends the messages to a Dispatcher. 

4.
The "Mail Merge" message box will be presented and will close automatically
after a short time.

5.
The "Send E-mail messages" dialog will be presented and will extract the
messages from the Dispatcher .

6.
Once all the messages have been sent the "E-Mail merged document"  dialog is
automatically closed.

7.
After all messages have been posted the "Send E-mail messages" dialog will
close automatically.

Unfortunately it doesn't quite work like the above as when the "E-Mail merged
document" dialog is closed automatically it also closes the "Send E-mail
messages" dialog and the Dispatcher even though there are still messages to
post! On my system the "Send E-mail messages" dialog closes after having sent,
would you believe, 13 messages out of 63 expected.

I've had a couple of goes at fixing this. Though the fixes have worked for me.
I failed to persuade the developers and Jenkins to let the fixes through.

I have another fix that again works for me. Though, I suspect that the
automatic validation tool that the developers use will find some issue with it.
