This is for the marketing guys out there.
To allow others to use the mass mailing functionality of contacts with OpenOffice mailings I would need a template for such a mailing, so I could put it into CVS.
For obvious reasons I would not put the clients template in there and I'm not into shameless self promotion, so I would not put the cognovís one in there either.
Therefore I would like to ask someone to prepare an OpenOffice document with a mailing address and some text with an OpenACS header and footer, send it to me and I will make the necessary changes in the content.xml to get this working with contacts mass mailings.
If you wonder what needs to be installed to get this functionality, go to /packages/contacts/tcl/oo-procs.tcl and read the top part. It is fairly easy and fast to install under Debian.
