hi
I need to make a custom corporate template in outlook to have all our users
to use when they klick on New Mail Message.

Think the Mail template is located in the Standard forms library but it is
possible to replace the standard form with a new one?
We want to use a header in the template with our logo and some text.

Thanks in advance.
Lars

Bad idea. Using a published custom form for this purpose probably will cause non-Outlook recipients not to be able to read any attachments you send them. Consider using stationery instead.

Hi,

newbie breaking in...I read the answer and wonder what "use stationery
instead" means? From my perspective it would be perfect to alter an existing
mail template to gain a corporate identity...

"Use stationery" means create messages with the Actions | New Mail Message Using | More Stationery command. Stationery is based on HTML pages.

Thank you for that quick reply,

is it correct that you can't really alter the built-in e-mail template to
accomplish the same result as using the "More Stationery"-command?
When you reply to an e-mail, can you get your preferred stationery?
Is it correct to add an extra button to your Outlook ribbon "New Corporate
e-mail" or something, which could call the prefereed stationery. If it is a
correct way, which is the preferred way to deploy such a solution corporate
wide?

TIA,
Peeter

Yes, that's correct.

No.

Ribbon? You're using Outlook 2007? (Please, please, always give your Outlook version when posting on discussion forums.) The most you can do natively to add a new command to the ribbon is to customize the QAT with VBA macro code. That is definitely not a solution that can be deployed to multiple people. An add-in would be a better solution for adding new functionality.
