MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / June 2007Default email template
Is it possible to set it up so that when you click on "New" for a new mail message it uses a template / form rather than the default blank email? Regards, Noel It's technically possible, but practically a very bad idea. What's your goal in considering that option?

Our attorney's office wants CONFIDENTIAL in red to be displayed in the top of the body of every email. They don't want to go get a template for that for every email. If we build it into their signature they have to delete the 2 blank lines that precede CONFIDENTIAL. Thanks! > It's technically possible, but practically a very bad idea.

Go to http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1594 and all will be revealed. While there, you might as well search on 'default form' without the quotes, and see the other interesting things that pop up. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA Thanks.

Currently we have a button on one of the tool bars (either a link or a macro to run the form) which the user clicks to open it. I was just wondering if it would be possible to use this form using the 'new message' button, removing the need to put buttons in the tool bar.

What are you hopting to accomplish with it?
