[libreoffice-users] LO:MailMerge supplying OutServerPassword via macro

I've got some code that uses MailMerge to email documents. It works. 
However, the password is stored in registrymodifications.xcu in clear text.

Trying to move forward

I cleared the password from registrymodifications.xcu by

    Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> Mail Merge E-mail -> 
Server Authentication

and deleting the contents of the password field.

The line in registrymodifications

changed from

<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Writer/MailMergeWizard"><prop 
oor:name="MailPassword" oor:op="fuse"><value>XXXXXXX 
YYYYYYY</value></prop></item>

to

<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Writer/MailMergeWizard"><prop 
oor:name="MailPassword" oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>

I then changed my macro to include the MailMerge property 
OutServerPassword. As in the code snippet below

>     oMailMerge = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.text.MailMerge")
>     oMailMerge.DocumentURL =  ConvertToUrl(strSelectedTemplate)
>     oMailMerge.DataSourceName =  "MySQLDataBase"
>     oMailMerge.CommandType = 0        'Command
>
>     oMailMerge.Command = "MySQLDataBase.tbl_temporary"
>     oMailMerge.OutputType = com.sun.star.text.MailMergeType.MAIL
>     oMailMerge.Subject = strTitle
>     oMailMerge.AddressFromColumn = "Email_Address"
>     oMailMerge.OutServerPassword="XXXXXXX YYYYYYY"
>
>     oMailMerge.SendAsHTML = True
>
>     oMailMerge.execute(Array())


When I run the script it fails with the following error message box

BASIC runtime error.
An exception occurred
Type: com.sun.star.uno.Exception
Message: Mail merge failed. Sorry, no further information available..

What am I doing wrong?

Has anyone else got this working?
