Using various versions OL 2000, 2002, and 2003 on several computers in
different locations.
Politely requesting help in the form of sample VBA code so I may
implement a macro to FORWARD the currently displayed email item to a
predefined distribution list.
Scenario: I receive several hundred emails per day - up to 700 after
a long holiday weekend! I dread returning to work on December
1st.... Anyway, I employ OL rules and ExLife to pre-process the
bulk. But even after processing I am left with a sizable number with
content too ambiguous or complex to trigger the rule/ExLife actions;
they must be read manually to determine if they are applicable and
require forwarding as described above. I end up forwarding 30-40 each
day. They are almost always sent to the same group of recipeints
(defined in a distribution list) and only occasionally must I add
comments to the forwarded item before dispatching it.
(Note : Since the recipients seldom change, their individual
addresses can be hard-coded within the macro, if that's much easier
than coding for a distribution list. But I have the impression it's
better programming practice to go with the dist list.)
Configuring a Toolbar button and/or an accelrator key combination to
fire the macro would be a great convenience, too, so I can read an
email and dispatch it to the dist list with a single click or keypress
(esp if I map the accelerator code to a programmable key on my
keyboard).
After the macro forwards the orignal email item, it is no longer
needed and may be deleted since - like Ms. Mosher (God bless you,
Sue!) - I archive my SENT items for a permanent record.
Thank you very much for any assistance. May the many minutes you save
me each day come back to you in health and happiness...
