Create a Outlook form that limits the number of char's in message

[Guest]

I want to create a Outlook form that limits the number of characters that can
be placed in the message. The idea is that I could use this form to send
e-mail messages to my mobile phone from the office or home without having to
worry about dropping important information.

There are plug-in's but they are meant to have Outlook talk to the phone
directly, which is not what I want. Essentially it's an e-mail to mobile
phone form. My phone limits e-mails/SMS messages to 146 characters.

Remove the message control from the form and add a multi-line text box where the user will type their message. On the Advanced Properties dialog for the box, set its MaxLength property.
