Replying with attachments

[Alan Ramsay]

Hi there,

Does anyone know if there is an option in Outlook 2003 to Reply with
attachments?

Many thanks,
Alan

Try using forward instead.

No.
You can code in some functionailty. Look here:

Another alternative is to fwd instead of replying, change the "fwd" to "re"
and add the email address yourself.

Bill/Richard,

Thanks very much for your responses. I appreciate the Fwd option retains
the attachments but it blanks the To and CC lines which is a bit of a pain
when you are intending to reply to a large group.

I seem to recall older versions of Outlook retained the attachments, why did
they drop the option?

I will try the code Bill, cheers.
Alan

Hi Bill,

Just tried that code you suggested and it worked a treat. Thanks very much.

One further question, can you tell me how to change the code so that it does
a "Reply to All" with attachments rather than just "Reply"?

Cheers,
Alan

Hope the responses helped.

The thinking behind this is that the person sending you an attachment
wouldn't need you to send it back to them as they already have it.

I'm not currently up on code to tell you off the top of my head. Sue might
have somewhere for feedback at that site or the Outlook Programming group
might know. The latter will possibly be the quicker and can solicit feedback
from many programmers.
