Question:
My company wishes to do some special e-mail forwarding. Is there a way to take an incoming message, place a message at the top or in the subject line, and then forward this as one message?
Answer:
If it’s o.k. for Outlook to be running at the time, you could create a VBA macro that does this pretty easily. Just create the code in the NewMail event to do something like this:
Set oNS = Outlook.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") Set oInbox = oNS.GetDefaultFolder(6) Set oMsg = oInbox.Items.GetFirst() Set oFwd = oMsg.Forward oFwd.Body = "[Insert your text here]" & vbLf & vbLf & oMsg.Body Set oFwdRecip = oFwd.Recipients.Add("[insert recipient addresses here]") oFwd.Send
Note that this will only work while Outlook is running. If you’re good at VB Script you could do something similar and have it run server-side.
