Interesting Issue with the "Send To" problem! Help!

Hello! I have two unique issues with Outlook 2003.

1) If you right-click a file, click Send To, and then click Mail Recipient,
an Outlook plain text message opens. How do I change that to HTML?
Microsoft Knowledge Base has a workaround for Office 2000, but no updated one
that I could find.

2) If you right-click a file, click Send To, and then click Mail Recipient,
an Outlook plain text message opens with a standard message. I always
personalize the text instead of the boring message it displays: "The message
is ready to be sent with the following file or link attachments:...", etc. I
recently found out that my edits are not doing anything!! When I click send,
the text apparently converts back to the original text that says, "The
message is ready to be sent with the following file or link attachments:...",
etc. Sure enough, in my sent folder, it did return to the original message!
Why is that and how do I get rid of that?!?

Thanks for your help!

I don't know if you can. Did you try the OL 2000 workaround? Most people
create a new SendTo shortcut that specifies the form Outlook opens.

Same answer, I believe. You need a new SendTo shortcut other than the
standard "Mail Recipient".
 
Thank you for your suggestions. I did try the suggestions that Microsoft
suggested but it didn't work! I got an error that said the object failed, I
believe. Some error. I think the code must have changed since Office 2000.
It was something like /c note.cfm or something originally.

I didn't look at the article, but you can create a shortcut with /c ipm.note
to create a new message.
 
Brian,

That is what the article told me. I tried that again just in case I may
have messed up the first time, but the same thing happened. When I click on
a file and choose this new option, I hear an error alert. I have to bring
Outlook to the front to see the error message. It says:

"The operation failed. An object could not be found."

So I don't know what to do.
