  • 1. Outlook 2002 Attachment Security Warning
    A user using Outlook 02 in Exchange 5.5 setting is receiving the following message: "Attachment Security Warning WARNING! The file may contain a virus that can be harmful to your computer. It is important to be VERY certain that this file is safe before you open it. You must save this file to disk before it can be opened. Filename: "file name" Type: "file type" To save the attachment, click Save to Disk." I've searched the web and MSKB but found nothing related to 02 version, only the older versions. We have hundreds of users and this is happening to one user alone. I understand that this security is for usually executables and whatnot, but it's coming up for Office files as well. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch.

  • 4. "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses" message...
    I have Office 2002 Pro running on Windows XP. I have recently updated my Office package with all available updates and have noticed a new, annoying feature. Everytime I compose an e-mail I get the dialog box that states "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?". Is this a normal part of the security update, and if so, is there any way I can disable it? Thanks in advance, Ian

Using Macros to Generate "canned" email responses

Postby JB » Sun, 02 Nov 2003 07:02:12 GMT

I have only used macros in Word where clicks and strokes 
are recorded in the macro.

Outlook apparantly relies on Visual Basic for its macros 
and I have nevcer used VB.

I want to create a macro that will generate a reply email 
with a pre-written message body.  Any place I can go that 
might show me how to do this?

Thank you!

Do you want this response to be automated or do you simply wish to be able
to manually generate the response?

If you want an automated solution then you can set up a RULE to achieve this
task.
- The rule is triggered by what ever it is that determines which message is
to be autoreplied to... for instance the INCOMING email address... the
sender... something in the subject or body etc.
- You set the rule to REPLY using a message you have saved to your computer.
- The message you want to go out to the customer should be  a message you
write and save as a template (*.oft file). Be sure to set the subject, body,
Account to use etc etc before saving the template.

This works for me.

The other option... (the Manual one)
If you simply want to be able to HIT reply on a message and then include
predefined text in the reply:
- Set up a SIGNITURE with all the text you want in the body... this can be
HTML formated or plain text...as you wish
- Then when a message comes in that you wish to reply to with this text just
hit REPLY and then insert the signiture and hit send.

1.Canned Responses

Is there a way to have a set of pre done responses so I don't have to 
re-write the same answer over and over again in outlook.

2.Generating automatic HTML email response to incoming emails in a standard format

Please could you point a beginner in the direction of code examples and 
manual for Outlook 2003 where I might find information to fufil the following 
spec:

Create an automated way to create an email, that extracts a customers name 
from the body of incoming mail. 

Use their surname to search a database to find if they have any matches to 
their name, if so put into the email some of the images associated with that 
name.

Often regualr questions are asked that pre-written responses can answer, the 
user of Outlook should be able to select these responses from a list, thread 
them together and email the response.

At all times the email should be personalised.


Any help or shove in the right direction to solve these problems for myself 
would be greatly appreciated

3.canned emails for business

I am trying to make a file with standard responses for common email questions 
so my employees can just copy and paste the answers. the problem is with 
word, there are too many of them and you will have to scroll down through too 
many emails. with excel when you paste the answer, it screws up the layout 
sometimes and is hard to add a few words to customize the email. any 
suggestions?

5.Canned Email Disclaimer for Outlook 2002

Hi-
What I would like to do is add a canned disclaimer at the end of all of my 
users' email. I looked through the Outlook GPO template included with the ORK 
tool kit and there doesn't seem to be anything there that would help me.
Can I do something like this via Group Policy or do I have to go to each 
individual workstation and do it manually?
Thanks
