Default Email template/form issue
I have created a custom email template (this is for all outbound emails),
saved it as an OFT file (Outlook template) then published it as a custom form to a Public Folder. How can I make this template/form the default for ALL outbound emails, so when the user clicks the "New" icon, the message box comes up using the custom template? Again this is for SENDING outbound emails, not posting to a folder. Many thanks in advance! Fred

Default Email template/form issue
Bad idea. Using a custom form as the default for outgoing mail pretty much guarantees that any non-Outlook recipients won't get attachments you send them.
Maybe you need to revisit the functionality designed into this form and explore other implementations. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "BearTrap3" wrote in message ...

Default Email template/form issue
I am currently finding out whether file attachments would ever be sent out to
any recipients. Assuming the answer is no, what would I do then to use a custom form as default for outbound emails? Thanks Sue! "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Bad idea.

Default Email template/form issue
If you have Outlook 2000 or later, you can make a registry change to substitute your custom form for the default form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefa...#changedefault . Note that it doesn't work completely for message forms in Outlook 2003.
Again, I strongly recommend against this approach for messages. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "BearTrap3" wrote in message ...
