improve paging in Extended Mass Mail Merge UI
Thank you for removing the 100-rec limit on mass mail merge. (see http://ideas.salesforce.com/article/show/101856/Extended_MailMerge_remove_100...)
However, because of the clunky UI, it's still very difficult to actually do a merge of more than 100 records.
That's because the UI divides your View results into pages (each of which have 30 recs by default, I believe). If you select all the records on one page, then go to the next page and select all there as well, you'd expect that SF would remember what you selected and include all 60 recs in the merge.
That's not what happens. Instead, SF only remembers the most recent page you were viewing. So it seems that the only way to get more than 100 recs at a time into a merge is to repeatedly click the "show More records per page" link at the bottom until you go over 100. That's a lot to ask of a user.
And if you're mailing to say 1000 records, even if the merge would stay under the new size limit (doing labels, for instance), there's almost no way you're going to succeed at getting all 1000 into the merge at once. The UI is just too unwieldy.
Please revamp this UI to allow selections from more than one results page at a time. The new Enhanced Lists are a good model, although we don't need all the bells & whistles like resizeable columns.
Thank you!
