mail merge fields

[emitecaps]

Hi,

I use mailmerge to send clients confirmation of their bookings by email.
I'm struggling with a problem in that when I merge to email I'ld like the subject line of each email to contain one of the merge fields, in this instance the order reference number.
I've tried copying and pasting the mergefield "reference number" into the box for the subject line in the "message options screen" but all I get when I merge is the text "reference number" and not the actual number itself.

Is this possible?

thanks
Barry
