Default Outlook E-mail Forms?

Je Thu, 12 Jul 2007 19:42:26 GMT, "Neil" skribis:

Does Outlook have an e-mail "form" or "template" where the body of an e-mail
can be created, and just certain fields can be filled in, as particular to
the recipient?

What I am needing to do is create such a form (if possible), open Outlook
through Automation, and then populate certain fields with the data, and then
send the e-mail (or leave open for the user).


I'm no expert, but I have been able to do this for my personal (not
company) installation of Outlook. One example: for spam complaints.
I click one button and a new email pops up, with a couple of addresses
already filled in and the words "Spam report:" in the subject line. I
do it without templates, just an Outlook macro.

It's a lot more difficult since Outlook doesn't have a macro recorder
(version 2000, anyway) like Word and Excel do, but I was able to find
some code online and modify it.
