Outlook 2003 - Reformat email content in reading Mode

[Alex]

Could anyone suggest a way for this:
--------------------------------
* I receive an email with a sender's phone number

* When the email is open for reading in outlook 2003 the phone number is required to automatically
change to a hyperlink (On Load or Button Click!). This hyperlink would point to a website with the
phone number in the query string.
--------------------------------

I tried designing a Message form and publishing it
however could not figure out the right way.

Would really appreciate!

Thanks

Hello Alex,

For a similar purpose, I created a COM add-in that handles the Items.Add
event in a special folder and changes MailItem.Body in accordance with some
conditions.

With Add-in Express, you can also choose the following ways:
- for such an e-mail, you can show a LinkLabel in a toolbar
(http://www.add-in-express.com/office-toolbar-controls/)
- in such an e-mail, you can show your form embedded into top, right,
bottom, left positions of the e-mail inspector window
(http://www.add-in-express.com/outlook-extension/). The form is a descendant
of a usual form and it allows you to show any controls.

Hi Adrei,

I appreciate your gesture for introducing me to a very powerful, robust and flexible tools which are indepensible for any ambitious developers/programmers.

However, since my requirement was a limited one, I managed to accomplish with the following concept:

In the outlook Project1 (ThisOutlookSession)-
---------------------------------------------
Public WithEvents olInspectors As Outlook.Inspectors

Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set olInspectors = Application.Inspectors
End Sub

Private Sub olInspectors_NewInspector(ByVal Inspector As Outlook.Inspector)
'Subroutine calls to work with the Outlook mail message body
ComposeMessageForPhoneNumber
End Sub
