I know nothing about VBA in outlook but I need to create a macro. I
need to be able to highlight an email in my inbox and start the macro
which will reply to all for the highlighted email with a simple
message like "got it". How do I do this? Is there another way
besides a macro?

thanks

Sub DoReply()
Dim itm as Object
Dim reply as Outlook.MailItem
On Error Resume Next

Set itm = Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)
If itm.Class = olMail Then
Set reply = itm.ReplyAll
reply.Body = "Got it" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & reply.Body
reply.Send
End If

Set itm = Nothing
Set reply = Nothing
End Sub

Is it possible to maintain the formatting of the original email in the
reply? The reply I am producing loses the spacing, text size, and
border lines from the original.

thanks

The Body property contains only the plain text representation of the item
body. If you want formatting, you need to work with HTMLBody and proper HTML
tags (instead of constants like vbCrLf).
