Creating an 'internal mail only' template
 

Hi Guys,

I am attempting to create an internal email template within outlook 2002 for
my department at work. The hope is that I can create an email template, which
will not send if there is a non-company email address in the 'to:' field.

For example if the company email ended: ’ - I would like
this template to only accept email addresses ending in '
within the 'to:' field.
Does anybody have any ideas how to do this? Can this be done by inputting
validation code for the 'to:' field?

If not does anybody have any interesting ideas for creating a template that
is obviously for internal use one, for example just as a high priority
message contains the text 'this message was sent with high importance?' -
could such a system be adjusted to say 'this message is intended for internal
use only'?

I have experimented, producing a privacy scroll bar that inserted text into
the subject line, and prints off a privacy status, though it did not meet my
foolishly high expectations.

Many Thanks

Tom Mc

Creating an 'internal mail only' template
 

This would require VBScript code behind the form in the Item_Send event handler, to iterate the Item.Recipients collection and check each Recipient.Address value.

Outlook does support a rich classification scheme, but it takes much more than simple custom form design to implement it.
