Outlook 2002 Email Templates

[PAZ]

I wish to create an email template with specific formating - Any ideas?

The email subject line should by default have the date [YYYYMMDD]
Then a pop up box for the user to enter the subject
Then a pop up combo box to choose either [C, P, M]

The subject field will then look like:

[date] [subject] [Priority Letter]

For what purpose? To send messages internally within an Exchange server environment? To send messages to external recipients?

We are trying to create an electronic filing system, where the subject line
of an email would be used to file and index records via the standardised
subject heading
The format needs to be as explained following our eworking policy

The completed template will be used to send messages internally &
externally...

To do what you want would require a custom form, but using a published custom form to send messages to external recipients is generally a bad idea. A possible solution would be a custom form that has code behind it to generate the desired subject, but not on the custom form item. Instead, it would create a completely new item (Application.CreateItem), populate that item's Subject and other properties, and send that item.

A minimum prerequisite for such a form would be the ability to publish it to the Organizational Forms library.
