Outlook 2007 Ignoring Mail Format Configured for Contact
I posted this question in microsoft.public.office.misc before I find this
group... So I am posting again. I need to send emails to a particular internet email address (i.e., not in exchange) in Plain Text. I attempted to configure this in the following ways: Attempt 1: 1) Open Contact window 2) Double click Email... field under Internet section 3) Set Internet format to "Send Plain Text only" Attempt 2: 1) Open Contact window 2) Right click Email... field under Internet section 3) Select Send Option... 4) Check "I want to specify the format..." 5) Select "MIME" - "Plain Text" Attempt 3: 1) Same as steps 1-4 in Attempt 2 2) Select "Plain Text/UUEncode" However, all attempts failed. Outlook still sends the email in HTML after all this settings. This is not only when I reply email from that address, but also when I send new email - even if I click the 'E-mail' button on the Contact window. Besides, is it possible to add a 'Reply in Text' button in the UI (preferably both in the mailbox view & mail view)? I've tried VBA, but it is disabled by default. Besides, it seems not an easy job to add a button to the ribbon. Telling people to go to the Options ribbon and select Plain Text impossible, they will ignore such instruction. I also know it is possible to configure mail format globally from the Tools - Options - Mail Format. But this will affect all mails, while I want to configure this for a specific recipient only. Any suggestion? Thanks Outlook version: 12.0.6514.5000 |
