Hi

Is it possible to automatically print an email and its attachment upon
sending, not globally but only when using a specific template.

many thanks
 
You would need code in the form or in a COM addin (or less desirable in the
Outlook VBA project) to intercept the Send event for that item and to call
the Print method. That gives you zero control over what's printed or how,
and is blocking (Send won't continue until the printing is done).

To get actual control over what's printed and how you would need to do
something else. Most of us gather all the information we want and print to
Word, either creating a document and formatting it on the fly or using a
Word template that was already designed. In that case I usually use
something like bookmarks or fields and just fill them in with the data I
want. That has to use the Word object model of course.
