[mso] Word E-Mail Merge

Per Linda's suggestion that distribution lists sent via BCC are being picked
up as spam (side note: is it just me, or is it only spammers that can keep
up with how to send out a bunch of e-mails and NOT have them labeled as
spam?), I have tried an e-mail merge with Word/Outlook 2003.  It works
great, except:

1.  Upon final merge, Word is forcing me to answer "yes" for every
individual e-mail (a daunting task for my e-newsletter for Management which
is hundreds of names) - citing that if this is unsuspected, it might contain
a virus.  Is there any way around this?

2.  Is there any way to designate which e-mails I would want to send as Rich
Text and/or HTML versus plain text, or would I need two separate tables
within Access (I have everyone entered in an Access table).  

Thank You, everyone.  

And thank you, Linda for this idea.  It is much more personal to be able to
place people's names throughout the e-mail.
