Default I need to be able to a send reminder e-mail on a weekly basis.

I need to be able to send a reminder e-mail on a weekly basis to the same
people. This is similar to a re-occurring calendar event. If the program
does this, could you send me the 'how' and if not, then could you consider
incorporating this function into your future programing/

Thank You

Hi Helen. No, Outlook can't do this "out-of-the-box". However, it's easy to
do:

- create your e-mail as your normally would, including the people you want
to receive it and adding any standard info in the Subject line and message
body
- save the e-mail by choosing Save As from the File menu, and choose
"Outlook Template" from the "Save as type" dropdown underneath the file name
in the Save As dialog
- create a recurring Task, and drag or insert the template file from your
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
directory into the message

Now when the reminder for the Task fires on a weekly basis, you can open the
Task and double-click the attached template to easily send your e-mail.
