Attachment Problem with Custom Form HHo 27.09.2006 10:46:02 Hi All, I have a problem with my Custom Form Mail Message. I have tried to send an email with attached file (only .txt) to the "Non Outlook Recipient" (in this case I use my own Hotmail). The problem is that the attached file never reach my Hotmail, only shown "Winmail.dat" Note: I have tried to send using HTML & Plain Text format, Not in RTF. I use Outlook 2000 Standard Edition (not yet update to any SP) Thank you very much in advance for any reply & suggestion Regards, HHo

Re: Attachment Problem with Custom Form HHo 28.09.2006 01:25:01 Hi Sue, Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to disable the RTF so that I can send using either Plain Text or HTML format? If yes, how do I do it? Note: My company would like to use the Custom Form Mail Message for our internal organization and set it as default as well as to send the email for external user outside our organization. If there is no way to disable RTF, do you have any suggestion on how to make my Custom Form Mail Message easy to be used (I want the user avoid long step to use my Custom Form by clicking New -> Choose Form -> Personal Forms Library -> and so on) Many thanks again for your time.

Re: Attachment Problem with Custom Form "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" <suemvp[ at ]outlookcode.com> 28.09.2006 02:20:13 What functionality does this custom form add to your organization? A custom form may not be the ideal solution. The most direct solution is to put code in the Item_Send event handler to generate a new mail message with Application.CreateItem and copy all the necessary information to the new mail message. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "HHo" <HHo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:09B6A2AA-DD34-4593-9F12-E5FBB18169D8[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Attachment Problem with Custom Form HHo 28.09.2006 10:39:01 The purpose of this Custom Form is to add Reference Number in the Message Header so that users can keep all outgoing and refer to this Reference Number in the future. Do you have any idea how to make it simple? My idea is to add new icon in toolbar and link it to my Custom Form. The user will have two options if they want to send email, either using Outlook Standard or Custom Form. But the problem occur while our internal organization is going to REPLY that Custom Form email, the Reference Number won't be show up. I know this case come up because I didnt setup my Custom Form as default so that the compose target still point to IPM.Note as its standard Is it possible to set if we received a Custom Form email, then we will Reply it as a Custom Form email. However, if we received standard outlook email then we will automatically Reply using standard outlook email? How to do it? Note: The FORWARD function is already working like I said above. The "Reply" and "Reply to All" didn't. Thank you so much Sue... "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: [Quoted Text] > What functionality does this custom form add to your organization?
