Letter Manager

The Letter Manager is a tool for viewing, editing, printing and deleting letters sent to any number of people at once.

A common practice with mail merges is to execute the mail merge and save the letters without printing them. You can then use the E-mail Robot to e-mail all of the letters it's able to, and then use the Letter Manager to print the rest.
