Default Default 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?

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.

The code sample that Hollis suggested is not related to your scenario. It's appropriate only for non-message folders.

Hi Sue,

the idea is that we have a form which we install on users machines which is
used as their email template. 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.

As I said earlier in this thread, using a published custom form as the default form is a bad idea. What are you hopting to accomplish with it?

Sue, we have the same need. 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!

Either use a signature or add the stamp at the server. Or even put an ugly red graphic in some stationery. But don't use a custom form.

Thank you! If it's possible to add the stamp at the server for just certain
employees can you direct me to the instructions?
